F P @Effeppi Apr 10 Yeah someone should have told Bela Tarr that doing a 2 hour and a half black and white almost mute repetitive video isn't poetic or existentialist, but just a pretentious try-hard way to call artistic what is really an incredibly boring series of messy images See more Chris D @RT00936645 02/04/2025 Probably one of the most incredible films ever made. See more Mavi T @RT72191799 01/05/2025 Béla Tarr cleverly EXPLOITS the authorial aura of FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE to create a halo effect, nudging the audience into perceiving nonexistent existential meanings in the 2 HOUR movie, By invoking Nietzsche's name and philosophical ideas at the film's onset, Tarr masterfully MANIPULATES VIEWER expectations, hinting at a profound exploration of human existence. However, beneath its austere, visually striking surface, the movie's narrative is surprisingly straightforward and DEVOID of profound symbolism. Tarr's strategic use of Nietzsche's authorial aura generates a halo effect of intellectual depth, enticing viewers to overanalyze and attribute meaning to the film's repetitive, mundane, and quite bizarre sequences. This clever tactic transforms an otherwise simplistic story into a perceived cinematic masterpiece, replete with complex themes and symbolism.

D @RT66567133 08/07/2021 Grimly beautiful poetry. See more raphael g @raphagimenes 03/02/2021 The cinematography is astounding. The textures are great. The patience, the storm. It's like we are living there with them, trying to weather the tempest. What a pessimistic ending though. See more Read all reviews
