With Satantango and Werckmeister Harmonies, Bela Tarr became the vividly disquieting master of spiritual desolation

The semi-official genre of slow cinema has been around for decades: glacial pacing, unhurried and unbroken takes, static shooting positions, characters who appear to be looking often wordlessly and unsmilingly at people or things off camera or into the lens itself, mimicking the camera's own calmly relentless gaze, the immobile silence accumulating into a transcendental simplicity. Robert Bresson, Theo Angelopoulos, Joe Weerasethakul, Lav Diaz, Lisandro Alonso; these are all great slow cinema practitioners.
