Hypnos Theatre is extremely proud to present the films of Béla Tarr & László Krasznahorkai – Winner of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature.
DAMNATION, the first collaboration between the Hungarian filmmaker and writer, follows the character Karrer, a lonely barfly who sees his only chance for a better life in a woman – a married singer at the divebar, Titanik. Seizing on a chance for more time with the singer, Karrer lures her husband into a smuggling scheme that doesn’t work out as he had hoped.
“Tarr has not only found damnation for Karrer, who has now even lost his human dignity because he wants so much to be loved, but for society and the world. Gloom was never photographed so smartly, and it’s truly amazing that such a bleak tale that almost glorifies misery as a kind of self-fulfilling martyrdom should turn out to be such a captivating watch.” (Dennis Schwartz)
