Review of Werckmeister Harmonies (2001) by Zoi K — 18 Sep 2015
A hypnotic, unique movie, Werckmeister Harmonies is impossible to describe in any sort of regular way. It's a film whose sole purpose is not to entertain, but to enlighten, to some degree. Bela Tarr has made a Lynch film by way of Tarkovsky but even that description doesn't do this movie justice.
Indeed, it has a great many things on it's mind from spirituality, to fear, and even a profound theory on modern music and the disharmony within. I will certainly need a second viewing to sort out just how I feel about this movie and to take everything in once more.
As it stands, Werckmeister Harmonies works brilliantly as an existential drama of a spiritual nature.
