He comes across as a corrupter of young women. Though it's hard to understand him, and the documentary is subtle, it seems he gets a young woman's guard down during the audition, and eventually gives then head, and then seduces them to have sex with him while the interpreter leave the hotel room. This guy is sick.

This auditioning is going on behind the former iron curtain where he can pay any porn actor way less. It is sad that these girls are letting themselves be sold out like this, what, in the end, is at the heart of patriarchy, an misogyny, easy mark, push over sex objects. Need we wonder at all the ass and breast grabbing, and rapes, coming to light these days?

The very nature of the questions he hurls at them at the start of the interview, crosses boundaries of decency, and if they accept that, they will accept more. Like looking at porno photos with him. He goes after the innocent ones. So glad I got to see this underbelly scum work, to see how a sleaze bag Lothario operates these days,especially as I am from Budapest and understood everything said in Hungarian. Sajnalak, csajok.

There is no caress, no foreplay, they get naked right away, the female lies back passively, the male penetrates and that's it. People watch this and think this is good sex? This might work in pornography, but this is the reason why divorce is rampant: women get tired of this bull where their chances of being fulfilled are next to null.

These sex scenes show folks to get naked right away and spread your legs, to roll on top of her then roll off. It is absurd and makes me hate these shows for propagating such false ideas. The true idea is that most women are too modest to rip off their clothes, ant that's not the most erotic way to interact anyway. The real news is that women need caressing and foreplay. The sex scenes in these shows (like say "Spartacus") are sexist propaganda, and as a woman watching, it really makes me mad.

Satan's Tango: You can tell from the first 10 minute enormous tracking shot following cattle meandering in the rain through a devastated, crumbling, seemingly deserted village, that it was going to be THAT kind of film.

This is Hungary after the withdrawal of the Soviet occupation of 40 years, and we are at a collective farm on the Hungarian great plain that has collapsed along with Communism.

Surreal, mesmerizing, sinister it challenges the mindful viewer to look closely, and listen, rather read closely, except I was lucky to do both. This film is for more mature audiences. I would compare it to plunging into Shakespeare drama that is really hard to follow at first, but pulls you on regardless, even if you are not getting everything, with a big payload.

I could not believe I was watching it from when I got home from work till after midnight. One main theme that stuck out for me was how developing a public persona, and the art of speech can be so powerful. The enigmatic central figure, Irimiás, is an epitome of this. Good looking, tall, educated, and with a golden tongue, he sure has a Satanic allure for whom the disparaged, uneducated villagers dance the tango.

There are some really funny parts too, the old doc watching and writing everything down in an alcoholic haze, then especially when the two officers rewrite Irimiás' letter and how they describe the villagers. The scene with the little girl and her cat is a heart stopper. I did not get everything to a T and want to read more about this, and want to watch it again.
