DAMNATION (Kárhozat)

In a small Hungarian town lives Karrer, a listless and brooding man who has almost completely withdrawn from the world, but for an obsession with a singer in the bar he frequents.

The first film in which Hungarian auteur Béla Tarr’s fully realised his mesmerising and apocalyptic world view is an immaculately photographed and composed study of eternal conflict: the centuries-old struggle between barbarism and civilization.
