woyzeck directed by jános szász, 1994
hungarian version of
georg büchner's 1837 play
woyzeck.
instead of a soldier we find
woyzeck as a flag man in a train yard in hungary.
like
bela tarr making a train film, although less minimal.
with examples of; smoke, darkness, rain, snow, mud and fog (obscuring the trains and characters that pass by).
close up of the tracks as a train passes by in slow motion with a lovely flicker.
smoke abstracting a passing train.
car train.
bela tarr image.
smoke abstractions.
smoke abstractions.
smoke abstractions.
snow abstracting the train yard. the camera pans and you see woyzeck working, great composition.
snow abstracting the train yard.
snow abstracting the train yard, this sequence reminds me of the satantango (bela tarr) sequence when the villagers destroy their furniture.
tracks seen from the top of a moving train. it took me a while to figure out what it was i was looking at, looked more like falling debris.(some other train
studies).
