Werckmeister Harmonies (1987)
The extraordinary Hungarian director Bela Tarr is one of the worlds most original and accalimed contemporary filmakers. In a body of work concerned with metaphysical explorations of the human condition, he has created an uncompromising, innovative and utterley engrossing cinematic world.

Werckmeister Harmonies: The population of a provincial town on the Hungarian plains await the arrival of a circus that features the stuffed carcass of a whale and a mysterious Prince. Its appearance disturbs the order of the small town, unleashing a torrent of violence and beauty...

Damnation: In a small Hungarian town lives Karrer, a listless and brooding man who has almost completely withdrawn from the world but for an obsession for the singer in the bar that he frequents. Tarr's immaculately photographed and composed film is about eternal conflict: the centuries old struggle between barbarism and civilisation.
