Most of Tarkovsky's films are masterworks. He belongs on any short list

of great directors of the past thirty years.
Similar to your experience, I watched "Damnation" by Bela Tarr, again, after not having seen it for a some time (under a year; I find I like it so much I watch it, repeatedly, with joy each time) and it also has so many layers, so much subtlety, that I liked it more, as has been the case each time. The lead actor is a marvel, as is the cheating wife.
If you haven't, may I strongly urge you to invest the many hours to see, "Satantango?" It ranks with the greatest films ever made, certainly, though it has some scenes which are very, very difficult to watch--- violent, but in NO way gratuitous. In this respect, it is not dissimilar to the other long masterpiece, and the only modern film in its class, "Berlin Alexanderplatz."
