Watched this at the Sydney film festival.
Béla Tarr - The Turin Horse (A torinói ló)
"In Turin on 3rd January, 1889, Friedrich Nietzsche steps out of the doorway of number six, Via Carlo Albert. Not far from him, the driver of a hansom cab is having trouble with a stubborn horse. Despite all his urging, the horse refuses to move, whereupon the driver loses his patience and takes his whip to it. Nietzsche comes up to the throng and puts an end to the brutal scene, throwing his arms around the horse’s neck, sobbing. His landlord takes him home, he lies motionless and silent for two days on a divan until he mutters the obligatory last words, and lives for another ten years, silent and demented, cared for by his mother and sisters. We do not know what happened to the horse.”let us raise a toast to ancient cotton, rotten voile, gloomy silk, slick carf, decayed goat, inflamed ram, sooty nelton, stifling silk, lazy sheep, bone-dry broad & skinny baffalo.

I found it hauntingly beautiful. Slow and repetitious, but that's Tarr for you. Perhaps his most austere and meticulous film; only two main characters, hardly any dialogue, a single song soundtrack and the howling wind. Technically brilliant and thought provoking, the more I think about this film the more I like it.let us raise a toast to ancient cotton, rotten voile, gloomy silk, slick carf, decayed goat, inflamed ram, sooty nelton, stifling silk, lazy sheep, bone-dry broad & skinny baffalo.

I own a film production company that focuses on horror, fantasy and sci-fi so its obvious that I'll watch things that have to do with those genres and their sub-genres, my choice.
From a technical point of view I have to say that its very well made, good photography, good narrative, believable characters, etc... it didn't win all the prizes for nothing. As a father of two I hated the fucking thing and that's exactly what the movie wants... to make you uncomfortable. Even if its not my cup of tea and I have no plans to meet Spasojević, it works.Last edited by Diego; 07-04-2011, 01:20 AM.

Saw the new Almodovar film today, The Skin I Live In. Fucking warped, even by his standards.
Saw Tree of Life earlier. Unparalleled cinematography, beyond banal story - same as all of his other films.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Haha, Ok, let me rephrase that. The idea is not banal, of course, but the treatment is. Same as in The Thin Red Line.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
