Damnation

Smoke-hazed bars, muddy dance halls, and constant rain reinforces the depressing lives of Béla Tarr's characters in this deliberately paced, black-and-white, artistically intriguing 1988 film about a discontented bar patron (Miklós Székely B.) in a dilapidated coal mining town in Hungary who is obsessed with a sultry, but married cabaret singer (Vali Kerekes) and makes a devious plan to try and remove her husband (György Cserhalmi) from the picture.
