What struck me most was how accessible Werckmeister Harmonies is, patiently explaining the magic of cinematic speech to a listening audience. It does it in a minimalist and gradual way, plus it has plenty of time to do it. It is the sheer essence of the film, which for me personally fulfils the value of the Sun around which the rest revolves. My first Béla Tarr.
