Damnation

£24.99

Released: 3rd August 2026. With Damnation, now available on 4K Ultra HD for the first time, BÉLA TARR emerged as one of the great filmmakers of European arthouse cinema. His signature cinematic style - haunting black and white imagery, brooding long takes and bleak landscapes - first materialises here, creating the foundation from which his later works develop (Sátántangó, Werckmeister Harmonies, The Turin Horse). In a desolated landscape, Karrer has lived for years, cut off from the rest of the world, passing his time by staring at dumpsters and disappearing under an endless rain. His only social links are the Titanik, a pub where he spends every night, and his boss, Willarsky. Attracted by a woman who sings in this bar, he tries to seduce her. INCLUDES: - One 4K UHD disc (Region Free) with the new 4K restoration of the film - One Blu-ray disc (Region B) which includes the new 4K restoration, presented in HD, and the special features  - Macbeth (1982) - television film by Béla Tarr - Interviews with director Béla Tarr, composer Mihály Víg and actor Miklós Székely B. Cover art by Paul West
