this movie had much more potential, in my opinion just another overrated independent film as so many others (especially Tarkovsky and Bela Tarr) nice soundtrack and black/white cinematography but not a lot was going on in the entire movie, it's too slow and too long.

(OK) I survived this Bela tarr thanks to the idea of embracing not only the horse but the girl and even the poor shepard patriarch that, in the voice in off narrated prologue, tell the story of Nietzsche embracing the horse and murmuring his last words...

Description: A rural farmer is forced to confront the mortality of his faithful horse. 1889. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche witnessed the whipping of a horse while traveling in Turin, Italy. He tossed his arms around the horse's neck to protect it then collapsed to the ground. In less than one month, Nietzsche would be diagnosed with a serious mental illness that would make him bed-ridden and speechless for the next eleven years until his death. But whatever did happen to the horse? This film, which is Tarr's last, follows up this question in a fictionalized story of what occurred. The man who whipped the horse is a rural farme ... (more)

"4.4. Blu-ray Joo. Elokuva, jossa ei oikeastaan tapahdu yhtään mitään, mutta tavoittaa kaikessaan sellaisen ankeuden kuvan, että lopussa on lopen uupunut ja silti täysin haltioissaan. Sanattomana ilmaa puhallellen. Maalaukselliset kuvat, pitkät otot ja hypnoottinen musiikki saavat aikaan aivan älyttömän raa'asti sisäänsä imevän tunnelman. Tämä oli aika kiva tutustuminen Béla Tarriin jotain liki 20 vuoden haikailun jälkeen. Jonkin verran on kauhun ja jännäreiden parissa aikaa "

"Torinon Hevosessa maailmanloppu pihisee tuulena pustalla. Otot ovat pitkiä ja postrokki soi. Ihmisillä ei ole mahdollisuutta keskinäiseen yhteyteen. Komea, kylmä elokuva, jonka edessä voi vain vaieta. Kuitenkin, pienoinen pettymys hiipii mieleeni. Tämän elokuvan hienous on yksinäistä, sitä samaa yhteyttömyyttä mistä sen kuvaama todellisuus kärsii. Vaikutus jää lopulta tekemättä. Yltiövakavuudessa nyhjääminen ei ole esteettisesti taikka eettisesti mieleeni. "

" The torment, the repetition, the perdition. Luckily the rumour (or news, actually) about this being Tarr's last film turned out to be false. There are few as exestential auteurs as Tarr, Tarr being one of the brightest and The Turin Horse being one of his greatest without a shadow of a doubt. Black and white imagery and its long takes take this film to whole new level. I was lucky enough to see this film in the cinema. To this date, this and the #2 on this list must be the two most beauti"
