The Turin Horse
Directed by Béla Tarr2h 35m2011
A look at the monotonous daily struggle of a father and daughter in a windswept, desolate landscape. Over six days, their routine of eating boiled potatoes and tending a failing horse crumbles, symbolizing a slow descent into darkness, emptiness, and the end of existence.
Our read: The Turin Horse (2011) reads as a heavy, slow-burn, inventive drama entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
Heavy, slow-burn, measured drama, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold.
