Only Béla Tarr could condense a three hour play into 62 minutes, film it in only two takes, and broadcast it on television, perfectly reflecting the title character’s unraveling paranoia via one suffocating close-up. Such is the brilliance behind this scuzzy, claustrophobic made-for-tv project, which marked a pivotal moment in the Hungarian auteur’s long and storied career, starring György Cserhalmi and Erzsébet Kútvölgyi as Lord and Lady.
