Bela Tarr's Werckmeister Harmonies (clips and stills)

I'm a sucker for Bela Tarr's moody, black and white movies and perhaps moreso for Werckmeister Harmonies than any other. A strange traveling sideshow arrives in a small Hungarian town and brings with it first foreboding and later a wave of savage violence. At two and a half hours, the movie is, staggeringly enough, a mere 39 shots.
