The Turin Horse

The story of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche stopping a horse being abused on the streets of Turin in 1889 serves as the starting point in the latest award winning drama - told from the horse's point of view.

"The latest from Hungarian maestro Béla Tarr offers an extraordinary sui generis apocalyptic vision. We know what happened to Nietzsche (he went clinically insane), but Tarr takes us into the story of the horse, its elderly owner and his daughter, and their stark, middle-of-nowhere existence, which is beset by an entropic windstorm which may, or may not, portend the end of the world."
