The Turin Horse in Williamsburg
The Turin Horse
Not rated.
After witnessing a carriage driver whipping his horse, the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche ran to the scene, threw his arms around the horse, and then collapsed; he would spend the next, final 10 years of his life in almost total silence. Focusing not on Nietzsche but on the driver and his family, Bela Tarr and his longtime collaborator Agnes Hranitzky, working from a screenplay by Tarr and novelist Laszlo Krasznhorkai, create a mesmerizing, provocative meditation on the unsettling connectedness of things, in which the resonance of actions and gestures continues long after their actual occurrence.
Beautifully photographed on the austere, unforgiving Hungarian plain lands, The Turin Horse challenges us to enter a world just beyond the one we experience daily. Winner of the Silver Bear at this year’s Berlin Film Festival. Filmed in immaculate black and white utilizing Tarr’s renowned long takes, The Turin Horse is the final statement from a master filmmaker. Hungarian with subtitles.
June 22-23, 25-30 screening room. 146 mins.
