The Turin Horse

15A155 min

Synopsis

Inspired by the anecdote of Nietzsche and the Turin Horse, the film follows seven days in the life of the horse, his owner, and the owner’s daughter as they face the abyss with boiled potatoes and plum brandy.

Raw, compelling and emotionally devastating, Béla Tarr’s final narrative film is a daringly original and searingly vivid work of artistically precise, philosophically rigorous filmmaking that has left audiences the world over gasping for breath. This work is also committed to Tarr's 'remodernist cinema' that seeks to capture the rhythm of life in real time and to raise a sharp awareness of the moment.
