Synopsis

In what is supposedly Bela Tarr’s final film, the director does not disappoint his base--those who relish extremely long takes, terse narratives, rich metaphors, and unforgettable, albeit bleak, images. At a brisk two and a half hours, The Turin Horse tells of a horse cart driver (Janos Derzsi), his granddaughter (Erika Bok), and their steed. Over the course of six suspenseful days, they toil around their hut in the middle of a windswept terrain, boiling potatoes, fetching water, drinking booze, and watching helplessly as the horse refuses to eat or work. As the days wear on, you get the sense that the horse is dying, and that the world is next. What it all means, you’ll have to decide yourself. Fortunately, you’ll have plenty of time to ponder. Winner of the FIPRESCI Prize and the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. In Hungarian with English subtitles.
