In Reply to: What Bela Tarr would you recommend? posted by PhilJ on September 22, 2010 at 13:19:53:
It's very long, but worth every minute of your time.
"Werckmeister Harmonies" may be the most accessible: see this one first.
"Damnation" is fascinating (Susan Sontag, a great Tarr fan, called it the greatest) and it rewards the patient viewer, allowing multiple viewings with increasing pleasure.
The difference between Tarr and most directors is similar to that between poetry and literature. You cannot "rip" through poetry, but rather must slow down, savor each word. That's Tarr. The framing, the physical location of all the elements in the shot, the movement of the camera are all as important as the "action," itself.
I've also enjoyed Tarr's earlier films, but the ones above are his masterworks.
