In Tarr’s gritty second feature, a continuation of the social inquiry begun in Family Nest, aimless young musician András (András Szabó) drifts through a series of jobs—and women—in a Budapest that offers little possibility of la vie bohème. In a bar, he meets Kata (Jolan Fodor) and the two soon marry, despite their limited means and the fact that András already has a child from a previous relationship. They do not live happily ever after. A finely wrought portrait of everyday despair, The Outsider pulls us deeply into the lives of ordinary people struggling to survive in a society that can find no place for them. New 2K restoration. A Janus Films release.
