The extraordinary Hungarian director Bela Tarr is one of the world's most original and acclaimed contemporary filmmakers. In a body of work concerned with metaphysical explorations of the human condition, he has created an uncompromising, innovative and utterly engrossing cinematic world.

WERCKMEISTER HARMONIES
The population of a provincial town on the Hungarian plains awaits the arrival of a circus that features the stuffed carcass of a whale and a mysterious Prince. Its appearance disturbs the order of the small town, unleashing a torrent of violence and beauty.

DAMNATION
In a small Hungarian town lives Karrer, a listless and brooding man who has almost completely withdrawn from the world, but for an obsession with a singer in the bar he frequents. Tarr's immaculately photographed and composed film is about eternal conflict: the centuries old struggle between barbarism and civilization.
