Chris Via is on page 260 of 304 of Satantango

This is becoming more bizarre by the moment now! What an exquisitely slow burn to get this strange and steady pulse at the end (the pacing reminds me of Ti West's The House of the Devil). I can't think of a better way to finish out a Friday night than to read the final two chapters of this journey. I shall therefore, put this aside until later.

I was somewhat expecting something on the order of Hamsun's Mysteries, but this is altogether (and deliciously) other. Can't wait to watch the film from Béla Tarr, too.

One read each page twice: Once to savor its aesthetic splendor; and again to savor its aesthetic splendor and follow the story.
