While I agree on the Tarr's merits, the comparisson with the two great ones is too reaching

There is little question Tarr has displayed piercing insight and hsi films have grabbing psychological qualities, hidden under the deceptively cold surface, they do not raise to the top level, in my view. Also important is the fact that truly great directors have been able to consistently maintain that level over long period of time, building up their expertize and developing... whether Tarr has done that is impossible to tell based on just his tree films - I am sure we are talking about the same ones available from the Netflix. All lovely films, to be sure, but one would need to see bigger picture before drawing such a conclusion, I think.

But that is largely besides the point. Where each of us positions an individual director is hardly so important. What IS important is the fact that Bela Tarr is a wonderful director, and his films warrant time and expense, and this is much more than I can say of perhaps 95% of directors out there.
