Why so much hype?
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
This documentary is a really practical on set observation of Tarr, his craft and the collaboration with the other crew and actors. If you want a review of his films and analysis and documentary style interviews you won't find it here but that wasn't really what I was after.I believe it's the only documentary ever made on set and whats's great about this documentary is that the massive majority of the footage is from the set, in fact even before the house that was used was built we see them planning it's construction. It's all the more poignant as it is his final film, something he was conscious of and telling the crew at the time of it's creation. For anyone that has watched all of Tarr's films, I found the small section with Erika Bók very touching to hear about how important Tarr and his wife had been in her life.
