Audience Member Once again I was subjected to watching yet another horrendous piece of filth by Bela Tarr under duress of a dare by my loving husband. Regardless of the diverse use of lighting or camera angles. Bela Tarrs only focus appears to be on filming in Run down condemned buildings .Only casting the most unwashed actors he can find who think the excessive use of eyeliner can cover it. As with all of this directors work ;his themes never change. Every movie he has ever produced depict the story of jobless vagrants who incessantly rant on about their sense of entitlement without being willing to engage in any form of honest work . Instead we get to sit through endless images of what appear to be feces streaked walls that match each characters personalities. Dont expect any light at the end of this pitiful tunnel from Hell. No one ever learns from their mistakes or grows up . All of Bela Tarrs work is stunted in growth polished in detestable drabness that never ends. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Bela Tarr's Almanac of Fall disposes of the stark black and white photography and the signature long takes, but hardly suffers for it as it is replaced with interesting color juxtaposition, an excellent script, and unique camera movements that showcase Tarr's mastery of framing. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Fassbendar +å¨?家 = like â?¤Best slap scene â?¡â?¡â?¡ Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Sublimely intelligent examination of close relationships and their abrupt destruction provoked by irresponsibility. Tarr's masterful gloominess and camera management helps an intoxicating aura of tension to arise and suffocate a set of defenseless characters. Mihály Vig's absorbing score is genius. What is most admirable about this film is its accuracy at stripping down those fears that only people that have deep relationships can understand, and those that are difficult to put into words. 99/100 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I tried sitting through the whole thing but after falling asleep a couple times, I just gave up Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member oo existentialist, if you ask me; it was like a Bergman chamber drama, but with people speaking far too abstractly. It was more interesting at the points where it dealt in the specifics of the relationships between the characters (which are confusing). I enjoyed the use of colored lighting to separate characters, and the way it drains away at the end, leaving everyone in shades of gray. The film has an intense claustrophobia to it, but the weighty and muddled dialogue makes it hard to get into. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
