Slow Places in Bela Tarr's Films - The Intersection of Geography, Ecology and Slow Cinema (Hardcover)

Slow Places in Bela Tarr's Films explores Hungarian filmmaker Bela Tarr's approach to creating geographies of indifference through slow cinema techniques. Through a close examination of Tarr's filmography, Clara Orban observes that his interiors provide claustrophobic environments in which human relationships have difficult flourishing, while his exteriors become landscapes through which characters wander endlessly. Furthermore, Orban argues, Tarr's sparse use of animals provides contrast to the humans who inhabit these spaces, as they, too, are indifferent to humans' fates. Orban utilizes close readings of Tarr's films-including his earlier short films-along with relevant poems, a thorough filmography, and an interview with Tarr about aspects of this book to aid in her analysis. Ultimately, this book offers an accessible but detailed look at the geographic locations and ecological implications of the entire compendium of Tarr's productions.
