Béla Tarr

During the filming of The Man from London in Bastia, Corsica, a small group of us would gather each Sunday at the local cinema to view the rushes. The opening sequence alone was a single take, ie two 1,000-foot reels—approximately twenty-two minutes in length. After one of the screenings, Béla, with his characteristic dry humour, remarked:
“Jason, you should be honoured with a BAFTA for the special effects.”
