03/03/2022 I hated this movie ! Apparently the moderators refuse to allow anything less than a half star rating which is all it deserves! Once again I need to emphasize that I watched this movie on a dare . This entire movie setting takes place in the most drab, washed out , depressing setting ever imagined. Any reflections of regrets are short-lived being met by repetitive patterns of the same habits and mistakes. We see the characters complaints about desires for change without the much needed efforts to merit any improvements . With Damnation being the final destination for everyone involved including the viewers who get suckered into watching this Epic Tarr failure. See more 11/09/2020 The dialogue, or rather the monologues, were often preposterously philosophical, and the direction leaned too heavily on the slow tracking shot. The music played on the soundtrack near the end was clearly different than the music the band depicted was playing. That was a little jarring. Otherwise, this was a sad, beautiful film. I would never want to live in the world it depicts. It's always raining, muddy, the shabby bars filled with catatonics, drinking only to keep from shooting themselves I suppose. But the photography is outstanding, the faces all fascinating to look at, and the story is simple but effective.

The heroes always disintegrate, and they disintegrate the same way." See more 02/18/2017 Much-admired filmmaker Bela Tarr will not be everyone's cup of tea, and many will find this film slow-moving but beautiful to look at. See more 11/16/2016 Damnation's depressing atmosphere of gloom is at times profound, but patience yields hard, even strong results. See more Read all reviews
