Werckmeister Harmonies (2000)
Director: Béla Tarr
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Adapted from László Krasznahorkai's novel The Melancholy Resistance, Tarr's visually and formally stunning fable explores the havoc wreaked on a small town when a giant stuffed whale is put on display by a visiting circus. Weird, wonderful, witty and unsettling. Good to see Schygulla back, too.Author: GA
