A nice introduction for anyone contemplating diving into bleak apocalyptic world of one of modern cinema’s greatest visionaries

I still need to see his three early social realist films and I look forward to rewatching his later monolithic masterworks

1979: Family Nest - NS
1981: The Outsider - NS
1982: The Prefab People - NS
1983: Macbeth (TV Movie) - NS
1984: Almanac of the Fall - 7/10
1988: Damnation - 8/10
1994: Satantango - 10/10
2000: Werckmeister Harmonies - 9/10
2007: The Man From London - 8/10
2011: The Turin Horse - 10/10

I'll probably never get round to his early works. He's unquestionably one of the great modern film-makers. I was blown away by Werckmeister Harmonies and include it in my top 20 of all time. Turin Horse was a bit grueling but very good. I need to see Damnation urgently.

His early work isn't a priority for me, but I'd still like to see it if I get a chance. The Turin Horse is probably my favorite of his work. Pushes his bleakness, minimalism, and nihilism to it's inevitable endpoint. A perfect final film.
