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 Black comedy, 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 (film), 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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

We weren't knocking at the door, we just beat it down. We were coming with some fresh, new, true, real things. We just wanted to show the reality - anti-movies." Reception Adam Bingham wrote in the 2011 book ''Directory of World Cinema'': "Before he became a celebrated cinematic poet of the existential—a director apt to invoke all manner of cosmic portents in detailing the downtrodden li ...

Werckmeister Harmonies
''Werckmeister Harmonies'' (; hu, Werckmeister harmóniák) is a 2000 Hungarian drama film directed by Béla Tarr and Ágnes Hranitzky, based on the 1989 novel ''The Melancholy of Resistance'' by László Krasznahorkai. Shot in black-and-white and composed of thirty-nine languidly paced shots, the film shows János and his uncle György during the communist Hungarian era. It also shows their journey among helpless citizens as a dark circus comes to town casting an eclipse over their lives. The title refers to the baroque musical theorist Andreas Werckmeister. György Eszter, a major character in the film, gives a monologue propounding a theory that Werckmeister's harmonic principles are responsible for aesthetic and philosophical problems in all music since, and need to be undone by a new theory of tuning and harmony. ''Werckmeister Harmonies'' opened to wide acclaim from film critics, and has come to be regarded by many critics as one of the best films of the 2000s, ranking 58 ...
