Focusing not on Nietzsche but on the driverand his family, Béla Tarr and his longtime collaboratorÁgnes Hranitzky, working from a screenplay by Tarrand novelist László Krasznhorkai, create a mesmerising,provocative meditation on the unsettling connectednessof things, in which the resonance of actions and gesturescontinues long after their actual occurrence. Beautifullyphotographed on the austere, unforgiving Hungarian plainlands, The Turin Horse challenges us to enter into a worldbeyond the one we experience daily.
