# The Turin Horse (2011)

2011 · 146 min · Drama · Germany, France, Switzerland, United States, Hungary

Original title: A torinói ló

## Synopsis

The Turin Horse is a 2011 Hungarian period drama film directed by Béla Tarr and Ágnes Hranitzky, starring János Derzsi, Erika Bók, and Mihály Kormos. It was co-written by Tarr and his frequent collaborator László Krasznahorkai. It recalls the whipping of a horse in the Italian city of Turin that is rumoured to have caused the mental breakdown of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The film is in black-and-white, shot in only 30 long takes by Tarr's regular cameraman Fred Kelemen, and depicts the repetitive daily lives of the horse-owner and his daughter.
