Béla Tarr, Iconic Hungarian Filmmaker and Slow Cinema Pioneer, Dies at 70

Legendary Hungarian filmmaker Béla Tarr, a pioneer of the "slow cinema" movement, has died at the age of 70 after a long illness. Known for his distinctive style featuring long takes, stark black-and-white visuals, and minimal dialogue, Tarr's work, including acclaimed films like "Satantango" and "The Turin Horse," deeply influenced arthouse cinema globally. He frequently collaborated with author László Krasznahorkai and later focused on teaching and mentorship, founding the Film Factory school in Sarajevo.
