In memoriam Béla Tarr
The Hungarian director Béla Tarr died on 6 January at the age of 70. This extraordinary filmmaker shaped his melancholic, pessimistic worldview in highly stylised black-and-white narratives, carried by long takes, earning him the title of master of the hypnotic long shot. In its cinemas, Eye is screening Damnation, The Turin Horse and Sátántangó. Five of his masterpieces can also be watched on Eye Film Player, including the trilogy Damnation (1988), Sátántangó (1994) and Werckmeister Harmóniák (2000). In 2017, Eye presented the exhibition Béla Tarr – Till the End of the World.
