Movie Reviews of Werckmeister Harmonies
Movie Review: Wreck meister
Summary: 1 Stars
Having lived in Hungary for a few years, I can state with certainty that the whale was not a metaphor for anything, but in actuality, it represented true commodities from the whale economy. The price of whale lard, whale oil (for lamps), whale boots, etc, drastically climbed so high that no one in small towns could afford anything. The prince was merely a robber baron at the time, 1950's, who imported whale from Japan.
This is hardly surreal good fellows.
The film is utterly boring and should be avoided.
Summary of Werckmeister Harmonies
In Bela Tarr's celebrated film the arrival of a couple of bizarre circus attractions - the stuffed corpse of a huge whale and a mysterious character with magnetic powers called The Prince - sparks unrest in a provincial Hungarian town. Although composed of only 39 shots the mesmerizing camerawork of this complex allegory creates subtle suspense and a lingering sense of dread. "A work of bravura filmmaking."
