It transcends the film medium, as many (not all…) great films do.
Love.
Marriage.
Survival.
The 10 commandments and the 7 deadly sins possibly all are addressed.
A superficial viewing might find this a pessimistic view of humanity. Such a reading, then, would similarly condemn the great Greek dramas.
A life spent in luxury and ease--- is this human fulfillment? Or is a life that goes on, through despair and evil, surviving through all?
Damnation is his first great film.
Tarr is Dostoyevsky, 150 years later on.
