Béla Tarr’s hypnotic parable about the trials of human existence, filmed in thirty shots, is an apparently simple record of a week in the life of the farmer and pálinka distiller Ohlsdorfer. The minimalist drama opens with a brief text about the anecdote that Nietzsche went insane in 1889 in Turin after seeing a coachman brutally beat a horse. The introduction ends with the remark that we do not know what happened to the horse. The Turin Horse (2011) answers that question.
The distiller lives with his daughter in a wooden house on a windswept plain, with the horse in the stable. Father and daughter carry out their tasks, cook a potato, and listen to the storm. The well runs dry, the horse neither eats nor drinks, the daughter reads aloud a text in which the Bible is taken to task, and the days grow darker and darker: the last potato remains uncooked.
The Turin Horse is the un-creation of the world, with which the Hungarian Béla Tarr brings not only earthly life but also his own work as a filmmaker to an end.
