Film Reel Epics: The Films of Béla Tarr

  • Familynest_large

Hungarian filmmaker Béla Tarr has been playing with shot duration for the last four decades. He swoops, swivels, and dances his camera so that cuts last upward of one minute — this, in an era when the average lasts a frantic ten seconds. Tarr once used a single shot lasting an epic 67 minutes in a TV production of Macbeth. As part of a three-week Tarr retrospective at LACMA, two of his earliest films screen tonight: his 1979 debut film, Family Nest (Családi tűzfészek), and 1982's The Prefab People (Panelkapcsolat).
