Béla Tarr's "Werckmeister Harmonies" is a slow-burn, visually stunning film exploring themes of order and chaos, and the fragility of human existence. The story unfolds in a desolate, unnamed Hungarian village where a mysterious circus, including a giant, decaying whale, arrives and triggers a sense of unease and madness in the townspeople. The film also delves into the world of music, particularly the theories of Andreas Werckmeister, a German composer who questioned the established principles of musical harmony.
