Director Béla Tarr discusses his 1979 feature, Family Nest, as part of his recent two-day visit to FLC. Moderated by Tyler Wilson. Learn more: https://www.filmlinc.org/series/bela-tarr-in-person/#films

Tarr’s striking debut feature, begun when he was 22, has been likened to the work of John Cassavetes and Ken Loach for its warts-and-all snapshot of a seven-member family sharing a small apartment during a national housing crisis. The overcrowding puts particular pressure on the marriage of Laci, a soldier newly discharged from the army, and his wife, Irén, who spends her days searching in vain for a home of their own—and an escape from Laci’s belligerent father. Impressively acted by a cast of mostly nonprofessional actors, Family Nest offers a pungent critique of patriarchy in all its forms, and early evidence of Tarr’s innate mastery of the moving image. New 2K restoration. A Janus Films release.
