Family Nest

Anger, resentment, frustrations, and bitterness escalate in this award-winning, somber, insightful, black-and-white, 108-minute, cinema verité style 1979 Béla Tarr film about a disillusioned Hungarian sausage factory worker (Lászlóne Horváth) whose life continues to unravel as she fights weekly with a local social services office to get a government-subsidized apartment for her suspicious husband (László Horváth), who just returned from the military, and her young daughter (Krisztina Horváth) while living with her verbally abusive, two-faced father-in-law (Gábor Kun) and other relatives in a cramped one-room apartment.
