THE TURIN HORSE (2012)
BELA TARR
Plot
Taking its cue from Nietzsche’s famous confrontation on Via Carlo Alberto, The Turin Horse depicts the aftermath of this seemingly innocuous but destructively profound encounter. Following a man and his daughter in their daily routine, a bizarre series of disturbing events slowly begin to strip life of its very essence. Raw, compelling and emotionally devastating, Béla Tarr’s film is a typically original and searingly vivid tale.
