#33. The Turin Horse
Director: Béla Tarr
Writer(s): Tarr and László Krasznahorkai
Producers: Gábor Téni
Distributor: Rights Available.
The Gist: Freely inspired by an episode that marked the end of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s career. On January 3,1889, on the piazza Alberto in Turin, a weeping Nietzsche flung his arms around an exhausted and ill-treated carriage horse, then lost consciousness.….(more)
Cast: Volker Spengler, János Derzsi and Erika Bók.
Why is it on the list?: Master of the long take, this won’t be your standard biopic on Nietzsche – as the POV is shared with those who changed the philosopher’s life course. Rumor is that this would be Tarr’s last film.
Release Date/Status?: Cannes is the logical destination for this pic. Look for numerous invites from around the globe.
