Synopsis

An illuminating and extremely rare documentary profile of one of the great filmmakers of our time, Bela Tarr. Filmed during the production of The Turin Horse, his final film, it features clips, behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with longtime collaborators.

Our take

A rare glimpse behind the curtains of The Turin Horse, Hungarian auteur Béla Tarr’s final film. Unpicking the film’s singular spiritual vision and profound existential descent, Jean-Marc Lamoure smartly approaches Tarr as he does his own subjects: with patience, grace, and lucidity.
