Description

Winner of the Special Jury Award for Cinematography at the Sundance Film Festival. In the wilderness of the Bucharest Delta, an abandoned water reservoir just outside the bustling metropolis, the Enache family lived in perfect harmony with nature for two decades, sleeping in a hut on the lakeshore, catching fish barehanded, and following the rhythm of the seasons. When this area is transformed into a public national park, they are forced to leave behind their unconventional life and move to the city, where fishing rods are replaced by smartphones and idle afternoons are now spent in classrooms. As the family struggles to conform to modern civilization and maintain their connection to each other and themselves, they each begin to question their place in the world and what their future might be. With their roots in the wilderness, the nine children and their parents struggle to find a way to keep their family united in the concrete jungle. With an empathetic and cinematic eye, filmmaker Radu Ciorniciuc offers viewers, in his feature debut, a compelling tale of an impoverished family living on the fringes of society in Romania, fighting for acceptance and their own version of freedom.

Product Description "A mid-career masterwork by legendary Hungarian art house auteur Be´la Tarr and the first of his internationally acclaimed trilogy of films written in collaboration with author La´szlo´ Krasznahorkai (including the legendary SA´TA´NTANGO´). DAMNATION (Ka´rhozat) chronicles the doomed affair between Bar Titanik regular Karrer (SA´TA´NTANGO´'s Miklo´s B. Sze´kely) and the cabaret singer (Vali Kerekes) he pines for while scheming to displace her brutish husband (Gyo¨rgy Cserhalmi). A poignant Communism allegory that solidified Tarr's unique aesthetic, DAMNATION is photographed in an exquisitely black & white palette underscored by the mesmerizing long takes that would come to be his trademark. Review Remarkable. --The Guardian Some of the most magnificent black-&-white images shot anywhere in the world. --The Village Voice (Béla Tarr is) one of cinema's most adventurous artists. --Martin Scorsese

Description

With Damnation, now available on 4K Ultra HD for the first time, BÉLA TARR emerged as one of the great filmmakers of European arthouse cinema. His signature cinematic style - haunting black and white imagery, brooding long takes and bleak landscapes - first materialises here, creating the foundation from which his later works develop (Sátántangó, Werckmeister Harmonies, The Turin Horse). In a desolated landscape, Karrer has lived for years, cut off from the rest of the world, passing his time by staring at dumpsters and disappearing under an endless rain. His only social links are the Titanik, a pub where he spends every night, and his boss, Willarsky. Attracted by a woman who sings in this bar, he tries to seduce her. INCLUDES: - One 4K UHD disc (Region Free) with the new 4K restoration of the film - One Blu-ray disc (Region B) which includes the new 4K restoration, presented in HD, and the special features - Macbeth (1982) - television film by Béla Tarr - Interviews with director Béla Tarr, composer Mihály Víg and actor Miklós Székely B.
