    The picture of cleanliness is indifferent and quiet, and the long shot of this film he made in his 30s that seems to be about love has been said to be bad. However, the switching between shots and the depth of field are all done by panning, even the convoluted space is connected to each other like the rhymes of poetry. The fixed mirror also pays great attention to the composition, and the scene of entering and exiting the stairs is well cut into a photographic work. Vali Kerekes' song reminds...

    After watching Bellatar's "Satan Tango" for 7 and a half hours all night, the aftertaste didn't disappear. A man who seems to have his own unique values, has nothing to do, does not pursue success and material wealth, acts against society, and only pursues his own love and desires as he pleases. Even if the object of love is a married woman. also tangled together. Isn't this kind of maverick view of life in pursuit of freedom exactly what I yearn for? However, the reality test came. The lover...

    Tarr is worthy of the unique style of mirror language master. The noise interference that sometimes strays outside the painting, the visual barrier that frequently blocks the line of sight, and there is no drifting focus of the protagonist. After the camera moves gracefully in depth or laterally, the seemingly soothing movement inadvertently breaks the limitations of time and space, and the transition between the speed and the slowness of the movement is truly wonderful. The helpless rain...

    Beratar's work is a vivid film lesson, often accompanied by eye-catching visuals. I really liked the female singer's low-pitched singing at the beginning of the film, and the happy group dance in the tavern at the end of the film reminded me of a certain Tarkovsky's work, which also has such a tavern atmosphere, which is very...

    Tarr's mid-term works are still repressive long shots, full of philosophical and world-weary lines, and the dance steps in the sewage at the end are...

    The long take is a humanism: An analyzation of Bela Tarr's cinematic philosophy

    I was sitting at home, and the sound of the decoration came from upstairs. I could feel the weight of the sawdust falling through the ceiling. The computer is playing Bella Tarr's Damnation, and the man at the bar gets up to leave. The afternoon became very thick, with one second chasing the next...

    Foraging dogs are crazy but sad people

    I also foolishly recorded the number of shots, all of which were scribbled and used indiscriminately.

    After all, it is a relatively early film of Beratar, and the long takes are not particularly stylized, and the parallel editing in some places does not belong to his lens philosophy.

    Every time I...

Damnation quotes

  • Karrer: And something always tells me that I'll go mad the next moment. But I don't go mad the next moment and I have no fear of going mad. Because fear of madness would mean that I'd have to cling to something. Yet I don't cling to anything. I cling to nothing, but everything clings to me.

  • The Singer: I like the rain. I like to watch the water run down the window. It calms me down. I don't think about anything. I just watch the rain.
