Mihaly Vig

September 23, 2007

Mihaly Vig composes the scores to the films of Hungarian director Bela Tarr, and appeared in Satantango, which is the only movie I’ve seen by Tarr, though at 7 1/2 hours it felt like several. Satantango only contains around 150 cuts, most of the shots exceed 10 minutes. You can find some, though not all, of Tarr’s films on Netflix.

These are from the score of Werckmeister Harmonies:
