THE MAN FROM LONDON finally arrives.

The 35mm print that was lost is now found, and we will screen it on Monday, Feb. 14th, at 7pm only.

Tarr's purposefully slow visual meditations are not for everyone, but they are not without purpose, and his visual compositions are full of beauty. His particular magic will only work on those who are willing to put aside the "need for speed" that has accelerated over the years. If you let the spell be cast, he will carry you to surprising places and reward the part of your soul that yearns for something metaphysical. Tarr's work provides an antidote to the currency of our time and its constant squeezing of our adrenal glands.

"(THE MAN FROM LONDON) deals with the eternal and the everyday at one and the same time. It deals with the cosmic and the realistic, the divine and the human, and to my mind, contains the totality of nature and man, just as it contains their pettiness." Béla Tarr
