Charting the evolution of one of cinema's most formidable philosophers of the frame, this comprehensive collection brings together ten films that trace Hungarian auteur Béla Tarr's transformation from raw social realism to metaphysical grandeur. 

Beginning with his intimate portraits of working class life - Family Nest (1979), The Outsider (1981), and The Prefab People (1982) - Tarr soon pushed the boundaries of cinematic time and space with his minimalist television adaptation of Macbeth (1982) and the claustrophobic moral unravelling of Autumn Almanac (1984).

With Damnation (1988), Tarr entered a stark, expressionistic phase that found its fullest expression in the monumental Sátántangó (1994) and the haunting cosmology of Werckmeister Harmonies (2000) - both co-written with novelist László Krasznahorkai. These epic meditations on entropy, despair, and resistance are complemented by his noir-inflected The Man from London (2007) and capped by his final cinematic testament, The Turin Horse (2011), a bleak and beautiful reckoning with the end of all things

With new 4K restorations of Damnation, Sátántangó, and Werckmeister Harmonies.
