Brackets
A bracket is either of two tall fore- or back-facing punctuation marks commonly used to isolate a segment of text or data from its surroundings. Typically deployed in symmetric pairs, an individual bracket may be identified as a 'left' or 'right' bracket or, alternatively, an "opening bracket" or "closing bracket", respectively, depending on the directionality of the context. Specific forms of the mark include parentheses (also called "rounded brackets"), square brackets, curly brackets (also called 'braces'), and angle brackets (also called 'chevrons'), as well as various less common pairs of symbols.

Béla Tarr
Béla Tarr (born 21 July 1955) is a Hungarian filmmaker. Debuting with the film ''Family Nest'' (1977), Tarr began his directorial career with a brief period of what he refers to as "social cinema", aimed at telling everyday stories about ordinary people, often in the style of cinema vérité. Over the next decade, he changed the cinematic style and thematic elements of his films. Tarr has been interpreted as having a pessimistic view of humanity; the characters in his works are often cynical, and have tumultuous relationships with one another in ways critics have found to be darkly comic. '' Almanac of Fall'' (1984) follows the inhabitants of a run-down apartment as they struggle to live together while sharing their hostilities. The drama '' Damnation'' (1988) was lauded for its languid and controlled camera movement, which Tarr would become known for internationally. ''Sátántangó'' (1994) and '' Werckmeister Harmonies'' (2000) continued his bleak and desolate representati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
