EDIT: moved my comment to the 'Libertarian Socialism' thread as it's more pertinent and that's a more active thread.

For anyone interested in watching the film, it is available in parts on Youtube. Just look up "Satan's Tango", and you'll find it. Be warned, however, this film takes a lot of patience to get through.

I used to have a Hungarian pen pal who told me that, when in Hungary, you should never mention Communism. People detest it as something that promised glory and delivered misery. Communism is like Satan there.

Where is the full version of the video in the op, that is just 9 mins of a farm ?

The full film is 7 hours long. This is just the opening sequence.

"The plot deals with the collapse of a collective farm in Hungary near the end of Communism. Several people on the farm are eager to leave with thecash they will receive for closing down the community, but they hear that the smooth-talking and charismatic Irimias, who had disappeared over two years ago and whom they thought to be dead, is returning. Much of the film's plot concentrates on the impact and consequences of Irimias' return through multiple POVs as the communers must cope not only with Irimias' scheming, but that of each other."

That is the plot synopsis. The film is a 7-hour epic that illustrates the despair and misery in a communist way of life. The beginning is just symbolic - cattle entrenched in their farm.

What is the video supposed to be about exactly? And in what way does it embody the despair of communism?
