Directed by Béla Tarr and Ágnes Hranitzky | 155 mins | 2011
Tarr’s final feature distills the essence of his cinema with the potency of farmer’s moonshine: a cart driver and his daughter survive harsh lives amid the stark beauty of desolation. With a nearly mood-altering dilation of time, this pre-modern portrait of stubborn horses, boiling-hot potatoes, and howling winds conveys the ritual nature of life (and the inevitability of chatty, drunken neighbors).
