The concept of "organic" has gained significant prominence within aesthetics, architecture, and art history, but its meaning within the spatialities and temporalities of film remains a subject of exploration. In response to this question, this concise and innovative study seeks to locate the essence of organicity within the work of Béla Tarr, the renowned Hungarian filmmaker and pioneer of the "slow cinema" movement. By undertaking a wholly original analysis of Tarr's signature techniques, such as the long take and other distinctive features, author Thorsten Botz-Bornstein establishes compelling connections between the seemingly distant realms of film and architecture. Through this exploration, he reveals shared organic principles that emphasize the transcendence of boundaries, shedding light on the profound interplay between these artistic mediums.
