This great poem on the end of the world is truly a film for the ages. It can't really be described, but only lived.

No movie could possibly live up to the monumental, forbidding grandeur of The Turin Horse's lengthy opening shot, but [Bela Tarr]... goes ahead and attempts the impossible, and comes frighteningly close to succeeding.

"The Turin Horse" is a parable, which means it's both very simple and very weighty. It's not about event and emotion, but duration and endurance.

It feels like the creation story in reverse -- a terrible, unavoidable walk into the dark.

Through Tarr's meticulous vision, these ordinary hardships take on cosmic weight; this is tedium vividly rendered.
