Director's word
"Andor 's music perfectly blended into the world of the film, creating a simple yet complex atmosphere that complements László Krasznahorkai's return. Moreover, these compositions became equal partners to Mihály Víg's piece, also featured in the film, which he originally created for Béla Tarr's Werckmeister Harmonies."
