Després de la monumental Sátántango, Béla Tarr, Ágnes Hranitzky and László Krasznahorkai tourn an adaptar una novel·la d'este últim, Melancholy of resistance. The Nobel Prize winner's dense and visionary prose adopts a radical cinematic form in Werckmeister's Harmonies: slow and hypnotic camera movements, desolate landscapes filmed in black and white and characters trapped in suspended time. Set in a small village surrounded by the arrival of a circus and a mysterious crowd, the film evokes the political tensions of post-communist Europe through an atmosphere of growing restlessness marked by the manipulation of the masses, collective fear and the fragility of the social order.
In the London home, Krasznahorkai writes the screenplay based on someone else's work, the novel of the same name by the master of noir Georges Simenon. the story, which opens with a masterful shot sequence in which a watchman witnesses a murder, it becomes a meditation on guilt and fate. The narrative slows down and shifts the criminal intrigue to the point where it almost brushes against abstraction. Among the cast of the film stands out, Besides, the presence of the magnetic Tilda Swinton, whose interpretation brings an enigmatic dimension to his universe of shadows.
