British label Curzon Film World is preparing a 4K Blu-ray release of Bela Tarr's
Damnation (1988), starring Miklós B. Székely, György Cserhalmi, Ágnes Kamondy, Gyula Pauer, and Hédi Temessy. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on August 3.
Description: With Damnation, now available on 4K Blu-ray for the first time, BÉLA TARR emerged as one of the great filmmakers of European arthouse cinema. His signature cinematic style - haunting black and white imagery, brooding long takes and bleak landscapes - first materialises here, creating the foundation from which his later works develop (Sátántangó, Werckmeister Harmonies, The Turin Horse).
In a desolated landscape, Karrer has lived for years, cut off from the rest of the world, passing his time by staring at dumpsters and disappearing under an endless rain. His only social links are the Titanik, a pub where he spends every night, and his boss, Willarsky. Attracted by a woman who sings in this bar, he tries to seduce her.
