Bela Tarr's entry for Visions of Europe.
The idea is simple:
Twenty-five countries, twenty-five visions from respected film directors from each of the respective countries that form the new European Community. Each director will give a personal vision of current or future life in this coming cultural melting pot.
The conditions are equally simple:
Absolute freedom of expression.
Tarr has a series of screenings at LACMA coming up, including his latest The Man From London and also the full eight hours of Satantango.
Reel Epics: The Films of Béla Tarr
March 7 - March 28
Hungary's Béla Tarr is one of the most acclaimed filmmakers of the last twenty years, yet he remains little known in the U.S. This series tracks Tarr from the stripped-down naturalism of his early works to the mesmerizing formalism of his recent masterpieces. With subtle, textured sound design and spellbinding camerawork, Tarr depicts the relationships among charlatans, demagogues and luckless peasants trapped in crowded city apartments or in remote towns.
