Family Nest Q&A with Béla Tarr

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: www.filmlinc.o...
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.

Dull, unknowing questions from the interviewer. Tarr is to be congratulated for enduring this & other such interviews.

I was there and just saw this had been uploaded - issue wasn't the interviewer, it was that the crowd was split 50/50 between normal people there to hear Tarr speak and pretentious, arthouse pricks looking to blow smoke up his ass. And anyone who knows anything about Tarr knows he won't enjoy that in the slightest. Apart from the lady who spoke about her home country - and let's face it, that was more of a comment, but undoubtedly the highlight of the evening - every question was a complete waste of time. The atmosphere in the room was really awkward, especially when the guy speaking at 26:00 got into a little spat with one of the hardworking ushers.
