Description
The Cinema of Béla Tarr: The Circle Closes by András Bálint Kovács is a comprehensive study of the Hungarian filmmaker Béla Tarr’s cinematic evolution, aesthetics, and philosophical depth. Kovács explores how Tarr’s films transitioned from his early social realist works to his later, highly stylized, and meditative masterpieces. The book examines Tarr’s distinctive use of long takes, slow pacing, and bleak, atmospheric settings, emphasizing how these elements contribute to his unique storytelling approach. Kovács delves into the philosophical and political undercurrents of Tarr’s cinema, highlighting themes of time, fate, human suffering, and existential stagnation. He also provides detailed analyses of Tarr’s most significant films, including Damnation, Satantango, Werckmeister Harmonies, and The Turin Horse, illustrating how Tarr’s narratives resist conventional resolution and instead create a sense of endless repetition and decay. By tracing the stylistic and thematic progression in Tarr’s work, Kovács argues that his films ultimately form a closed circle, reinforcing the filmmaker’s vision of an entropic and cyclical world. This book is essential for cinephiles, film scholars, and anyone interested in the deeper meanings behind Béla Tarr’s haunting and thought-provoking cinema.
