Werckmeister Harmonies **
Directed by Bela Tarr. The word 'harmony' is used in the film to mean both peace as well as musical note. The apparent order in the society is compared to the complex notes developed for musical instruments. The idea is that both of these are artificial and when de-constructed, they reveal a type of irrevocable harmony. One that is designed by nature and not by man. A complex film with great camera work. You can also see a scene from this movie directly lifted and used in Gerry by Gus Van Sant - two characters walking and we can only see their heads swinging rhythmically accompanied by the sounds of their footsteps.
