B\u00e9la Tarr, the Hungarian arthouse director best known for his bleak, existential and challenging films, including S\u00e1t\u00e1ntang\u00f3 <\/em>and Werckmeister Harmonies<\/em>, has died at the age of 70. The Hungarian Filmmakers’ Association shared a statement on Tuesday<\/a> announcing Tarr’s passing after a serious illness, but did not specify further details.<\/p>\n

Tarr was born in communist-era Hungary in 1955 and made his filmmaking debut in 1979 with Family Nest, <\/em>the first of nine feature films that would culminate in his 2011 film The Turin Horse. Damnation, <\/em>released in 1988 at the Berlin International Film Festival, was his first film to draw global acclaim, and launched Tarr from a little-known director of social dramas to a fixture on the international film festival circuit.<\/p>\n
