take off my sandals, and sweet

Jesus, what my feet looked like!

With the music playing,

we felt nothing, see...

- Fallen arches, what...

- When I could barely wash.

Your foot's swollen...

your arches fallen.

But now we're not so keen

anymore.

Our time's gone.

Where did you go in summer?

In summer?

Go anywhere? In summer?

Nowhere this time.

- You stayed at home?

- The kid's so small, well...

They tie you down then.

Did you go anywhere?

- A lovely trip.

- Where? A long one?

Spain, Switzerland,

West Germany, Austria...

All the way to

Switzerland too?

Switzerland, but we ended up

in Spain, wonderfull.

We went to Bulgaria once

with the kids. Our daughter

was 3, our son 6

but it was wonderful.

The children enjoyed it

so much, we walked,

slept in a tent,

it was perfect.

That's why I'm telling you,

you can do it later,

because the kids can

manage.

- The can.

- True, if you can, they can.

I could manage them, I had

no problem with the kids.

Splashing naked in the sea...

If you get good weather,

the seaside is the place.

But not if you want to see

museums or towns...

When kids are small, then

you have to arrange it

to have lots of free time.

We went to see Rila monastery,

teh kids enjoyed it too.

That little cottage

is still so nice,

It means one thing to me

the house and my young days

Once more we'll go

to look for memories

to revive a summer

and a young couple

That little cottage

is still so nice,

it means one thing to me

the house and my young days

The next song,

if you don't mind,

just this time, I'd like

to sing to a real man,

if there is one among you.

What's the matter?

I don't want a pianist,

I want a man.

What?

I can hear voices

but I don't see a man.

I'll come and have a look.

Here I come, boys!

May I?

Ladies, it looks as if

standing before you here

a real man.

We'll soon see

if you deserve that title.

Now would you hold

my hand tight please?

Try and do what I do.

I promise it won't hurt.

All you have to do first is bend

your knees, I'll show you how.

Once, two. That's it.

Let me be in love tonight

Your love and kisses

can't be to much

Moonrays smile on us

Silver light in front of us

Let me be in love tonight

Let me be tonight the one

Who whispers your name

They think we are friends

for me that's not enough,

just let me be in love tonight

Here comes the hard bit...

We've been together long

two people make a pair

Isn't that good!

Two of us, where you are

there's a house for us

Now don't hesitate

Let me be tonight the one

who whispers your name

They think we are friends

for me that's not enough,

just let me be in love tonight

Béla Tarr

Béla Tarr (born 21 July 1955) is a Hungarian film director. His body of work consists mainly of art films with philosophical themes and long takes. Debuting with the film Family Nest (1979), Tarr began his directorial career with a brief period of what he refers to as "social cinema", aimed at telling mundane stories about ordinary people, often in the style of cinema vérité. Over the next decade, the cinematic style and thematic elements of his films changed. Tarr has been interpreted as having a pessimistic view of humanity; the characters in his works are often cynical, and have tumultuous relationships with one another in ways critics have found to be darkly comic. Almanac of Fall (1984), his only color film, follows the inhabitants of a run-down apartment as they struggle to live together while sharing their hostilities. The drama Damnation (1988) was lauded for its languid and controlled camera movement, which Tarr would become known for internationally. Satan's Tango (1994) and Werckmeister Harmonies (2000) continued his bleak and desolate representations of reality, while incorporating apocalyptic overtones; the former sometimes appears in scholarly polls of the greatest films ever made, and the latter received wide acclaim from critics. Tarr would later compete in the 2007 Cannes Film Festival with his film The Man from London, which opened to moderately positive reviews. Frequent collaborators with Tarr include novelist László Krasznahorkai, film composer Mihály Víg, cinematographer Fred Kelemen, actress Erika Bók, and Tarr's wife Ágnes Hranitzky, who is sometimes credited as a co-director of his last three works. After the release of his film The Turin Horse (2011), which made many year-end "best-of" critics' lists, Tarr announced his definitive retirement from feature-length film direction. In February 2013 he started a film school in Sarajevo, known as film.factory, leaving in 2016. He is slated to premiere two short films in a 2017 Amsterdam exhibition. more…
