- Biography
-
Béla Tarr was a Hungarian film director, screenwriter and producer. His films are distinguished by languid pacing, stark black-and-white visuals, extended long takes, and an absence of traditional plotting. They explore existential themes and often focus on marginalized, desperate characters in bleak landscapes. He became known as a founding figure of the slow cinema genre, most notably with his influential 1994 film Sátántangó. That film is often in scholarly polls of the greatest films ever made.
