Watch Damnation For Free

Load of rubbish!!

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Karhozat AKA Damnation is movie from controversial Hungarian director Bela Tarr, who is known for black and white films. Tarr, most famous for 415-minute masterpiece Satantango and Werckmeister Harmonies presented this is one, the first big his movie any very strong. Known for his style, which is absolutely unique Tarr sometimes compares with names like Tarkovsky but he always refused such comparisons, saying that it is deeply insulting. His films are characterized primarily due to the extremely long takes (especially in Satantango) whose average duration of 10 minutes and 20 seconds, which gives a special beauty of his films, of course, those who are patient. In addition to these enormously long staff films reflect the extraordinary depth (which he admittedly likes to interpret and interpret claiming that everything the way you present the viewer), a beautiful black and white photography, inspiring and extremely lucid dialogues which all results in a special atmosphere. His films are definitely "movies from another world", something unusual, something different that you will not be able to see even the director Tarkovsky and similar caliber. His career was marked by collaboration with novelist Laszlo Krasznahorkaiem. They started in 1987. Doing exactly the damnation to complete the adaptation of the novel Krasznohorkaievog 'Satantango' which took them seven years.The film follows the main character who is extremely depressed and whose life is tantamount to bypassing cheap inn, especially Titanic bar where he meets and falls in love with a lounge singer who is married. After his bartender Titanic job offer he skillfully develops the plan and employs husband of singer to do the work, just so he could be with her. What makes this movie different from other Tarrovih work is noir trick. Although the film locations of directors always impressive ones are still confined to small towns, small towns or suburbs while here, although the situation is the same, there is the Titanic bar where the main character spends his nights. Another thing that is very skillfully exploited the time "opportunity." With all the gloom and depression in which we pull this masterpiece in the film is continuously falling rain, falling and falling and falling ... For this reason, worn raincoats, hats and sometimes contributing already mentioned noir trick. Another important thing which Tarr raises the level of his films is the music which is credited Mihly Vgs which is working on almost each of his film sometimes and handing him a major role. His Soundtracs are some other dimension, something you will not hear anywhere, something that has not already seen. Now all of this pack and you will truly masterpiece, a film about the days where you think, and enjoy remembering it.

I watch Bela Tarr's films over again with endless fascination. The length is not a problem: No longer that many pieces of music. If you can concentrate through a Wagner opera and I hope you can, then a Tarr film is not very long. All the films are very much products of team work but lead by an autocratic man who knows exactly what he wants, hence the seam free quality of the experience, It is that, rather than the length which requires the concentration. I have not found it mentioned often enough but there is much humour in his films, Karrer does a reprise of Gene Kelly, which is then itself parodied near the end of the film. Damnation is maybe still my favourite, I suppose for the mesmerising way sound is used to structure a complex web of association, but then all of the available late films has so much to offer

Here is a movie which puts bleakness, despair, hopelessness, and the lives of those under abject poverty in a central European dystopia into focus. Honestly, I've seen Smiths' videos which were infinitely more cheery than this homage to hopelessness. The characters in this movie live in such squalor and misery one wonders whether they'd be able to even locate a blade sharp enough to do anything remotely lethal with their wrists, when their last scrap of hope is eaten by some mangy stray. It's a struggle just to preserve their very sanity from day to humdrum day, let alone maintain themselves in anything akin to comfort.Yes, for sure, this is not a movie to cheer you up when your chips are down. The director has even said that the characters of this movie are said to include street dogs, repetitive mechanical noises, and the rain!But all that being said, it is a movie with a most definitely crafted, albeit sombre, artistry. Acting is impeccable from all concerned (hmmm... even the stray dogs act brilliantly!). And the direction and camera work will enthuse many aficionados. The screenplay is bizarre at times yet perfectly matches the long laboured bleak settings of every single scene bar none. OK. OK... Don't let all this put you off. The movie is the very antithesis of Hollywood schmaltz and glamour. That is to say, you couldn't find a movie more far removed from any tinsel town tale. And for that alone I give it a 7/10. But it is a movie to appreciate, rather than like. And I don't just mean appreciate the work which has gone into crafting it; for it is also definitely worth watching, if only to appreciate what you have in life. But don't dare to try watching Karhozat when you're feeling the blues... oh No, sir. Oh no indeed.

The film is about immobility. About people who abandoned themselves to a collective sinking, and dances. The camera travels slowly along the last days before apocalypse. The photography is excellent. And the music also helps to forget the length of some scenes. Those who liked Tarkovski's films shouldn't be deluded. The text is powerful, with its dose of irony. Unfortunately I couldn't understand everything. Some monologues seemed to be a nonsense, which may be something normal in this apocalyptic context. Anyway, I hope I'll be able one day to find some transcription; this film deserves to be studied.
