The greatest of all British filmmakers, Terence Davies, got funding for just eight dramatic features in forty years, went a dozen years without any, five between A Quiet Passion and Benediction, the planned Zweig adaptation The Post Office Girl fell through in his last years.

I Am Not A Number. In memory of the more than 72,000 Palestinians killed in Israel's genocide. Behind each name is a life violently cut short.

(Wes Anderson is the closest thing American cinema has to a Thomas Pynchon but unfortunately most of my fellow Pynchon-heads don’t want to admit it.)

Kicking off last January with David Lynch’s death and now Béla Tarr’s this January is so cursed. This is a cursed month.

[Ryan Swen/孫天行/Sun Tien-hsing @swen_ryan]

It feels fitting that Tarr Béla and Robert Bresson were the only two directors I know of who officially retired from feature filmmaking for over a decade before their deaths, personifications of their particular ascetic, transcendent forms of cinema.

Belá Tarr on meeting Jean-Luc Godard

[Hit Factory @HitFactoryPod]

call in to work today, and put in 8 hours watching Sátántangó. it will be one of the most extraordinary cinematic experiences of your entire life.

[Daniel Gorman @DanielGorman20]

Have always recoiled at calling Tarr or Hou or Tsai ‘slow’, like yeah compared to Hollywood stuff they are certainly less frenetic but there’s always something happening with the camera, the lighting, the gesture of the human body in the frame. Just gotta look with your eyes.

"After The Turin Horse, I cannot say anything. It was about the death of everything. The work is complete. Done."

In remembrance of Béla Tarr, read our 2019 interview with the director: https://t.co/GefIcoia0k

“I was just an ugly, poor filmmaker. I still am. I don’t have power. I don’t have anything — just a fucking camera.”

RIP to the great Béla Tarr. in 2019 i met up with him in a Berlin hotel bar to discuss Sátántangó, and he was truly one of a kind.

Béla Tarr in a pirated DVD store in Peru posing with the owner and the bootlegs of his movies for sale, one of the realest ones ever, RIP

[Locarno Film Festival @FilmFestLocarno]

There is cinema before Béla Tarr, and cinema after – and after him, it will not be the same. Today we say goodbye to a true master of the artform, whose story as a filmmaker has crossed paths with Locarno at several key points.

He will be deeply missed.

[Mattie, the Woman Clothed by the Sun @cinemattie]

Béla Tarr was a giant who crafted images so mythical it's difficult to put his achievements into words. An epochal talent.

Béla Tarr, 1955-2026 🤍
