The Man From London (2007, Bela Tarr) 43
Tarr's style in service of material that doesn't really call for it, with long takes expressing little beyond their own technical accomplishment. There is nothing here that even approaches the solar system sequence that opens Werckmeister Harmonies and instead of finding purpose for his long takes here he just lands on faces for several minutes without having them express anything notable (though some of them are great faces). I like the black and white photography with its beautiful chiaroscuro and certain shots have the Tarr magic to them, but this is a major disappointment considering how often Tarr makes films.
