Product Description "A mid-career masterwork by legendary Hungarian art house auteur Be´la Tarr and the first of his internationally acclaimed trilogy of films written in collaboration with author La´szlo´ Krasznahorkai (including the legendary SA´TA´NTANGO´). DAMNATION (Ka´rhozat) chronicles the doomed affair between Bar Titanik regular Karrer (SA´TA´NTANGO´'s Miklo´s B. Sze´kely) and the cabaret singer (Vali Kerekes) he pines for while scheming to displace her brutish husband (Gyo¨rgy Cserhalmi). A poignant Communism allegory that solidified Tarr's unique aesthetic, DAMNATION is photographed in an exquisitely black & white palette underscored by the mesmerizing long takes that would come to be his trademark. Review Remarkable. --The Guardian Some of the most magnificent black-&-white images shot anywhere in the world. --The Village Voice (Béla Tarr is) one of cinema's most adventurous artists. --Martin Scorsese

Description

With Damnation, now available on 4K Ultra HD for the first time, BÉLA TARR emerged as one of the great filmmakers of European arthouse cinema. His signature cinematic style - haunting black and white imagery, brooding long takes and bleak landscapes - first materialises here, creating the foundation from which his later works develop (Sátántangó, Werckmeister Harmonies, The Turin Horse). In a desolated landscape, Karrer has lived for years, cut off from the rest of the world, passing his time by staring at dumpsters and disappearing under an endless rain. His only social links are the Titanik, a pub where he spends every night, and his boss, Willarsky. Attracted by a woman who sings in this bar, he tries to seduce her. INCLUDES: - One 4K UHD disc (Region Free) with the new 4K restoration of the film - One Blu-ray disc (Region B) which includes the new 4K restoration, presented in HD, and the special features - Macbeth (1982) - television film by Béla Tarr - Interviews with director Béla Tarr, composer Mihály Víg and actor Miklós Székely B.
