IN FIFTY WORDS OR FEWER: The Man from London (Béla Tarr, 2007)

03 October 2007

Painstakingly choreographed and almost impossibly slow-paced, Béla Tarr’s The Man from London is not for everyone. It is, nevertheless, enjoyable movie watching—with stark visual lines and even harder narrative logic that pull you into the story at the same time as the remarkable camera movements invite you to explore.
