Waiting for the Eternal Return – Béla Tarr’s Film Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: The Hungarian director Béla Tarr (born in 1956) is one of the truly original filmmakers of our time. His special use of time, space, and extremely long takes puts him into the front row of European pictorialism, a way of stylizing narrative. In that field his closest cousins are another Hungarian Miklós Jancsó, Russian Andrei Tarkovsky and Greek Theo Angelopoulos. Through philosophical connections we can find traces of Gilles Deleuze’s, Friedrich Nietzsche’s, and Jean-Paul Sartre’s thinking inside Béla Tarr’s universe.
