Damnation 4K Ultra HD + Blu-Ray (Region B)

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 materializes here, creating the foundation from which his later works would develop, including Sátántangó, Werckmeister Harmonies, and 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 the bar, he tries to seduce her.
