Tarr's transitional film between his early period of filmmaking where he was influenced by the documentary style and his latter group of black and white art films. Almanac of Fall is visually lush and poetic resulting in a vivid almost-theatrical portrait of realist drama.
Eastern European cinema is a diverse subject that has been scarcely regarded, especially compared to other world cinemas. From screen analysis to personal accounts, this blog is a meditation on Eastern European cultural values with emphasis on totalitarian iconography and other clandestine ciphers that have become motifs across the films of Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Russia, Czech Republic and East Germany.
