"Maloin leads a simple life at the edge of the infinite sea, barely noticing the world around him. When he becomes a witness to a murder, his life takes a sudden turn, coming face to face with issues of morality, sin, punishment and the line between innocence and complicity.“Technically Bela Tarr's THE MAN FROM LONDON is properly described as the new movie by an internationally acclaimed filmmaker that is receiving its United States theatrical engagement at MoMA. But so conventional a description will ill prepare most viewers for this outrageously stylized, conceptually demanding film…a kind of slow-motion film noir about a railway worker who stumbles over a suitcase stuffed with money. The movie is really about a manner of looking at things, exploring space in unexpected ways, meditating on qualities of light and the surface of objects” -Lee, NY Times
