The Prefab People

An unrelenting, smell-the-sour-breath portrait of a blue-collar marriage dissolving under pressure from Communist-era poverty, masculine inadequacy, and restless depression.

Hungarian filmmaker Bela Tarr's third feature (1982) is the best of his early forays into Cassavetes-style social realism.

...like an Eastern Bloc tribute to Britain's kitchen sink dramas.

It's the rawness of the film that makes us believe we are unquestionably seeing the truth.
