Video Essay: Béla Tarr, the filmmaker who broke time
10m
Few filmmakers are as distinct as Béla Tarr. From his early social cinema to the profound, long-take masterpieces like Sátántangó and Werckmeister Harmonies, the Hungarian maestro has crafted a unique cinematic universe. We explore how his desolate black-and-white landscapes, populated by drunks, visionaries, and doomed figures, became crucibles for profound human drama, revealing a sincere message of hope beneath the bleakness.
This exclusive video essay is based on an essay originally written by Samuel Goff and published on the Klassiki Journal.
