> he said his films had been misunderstood: “My opinion is that we were doing comedies. You can laugh a lot.”
I read a few Krasznahorkai novels in past few months since his Nobel Prize, some of which Tarr has adapted to screen, and that was my biggest surprise. They were so much funnier than their reputation, my tears were rolling at times. He is such a master troll at using his slow grinding, bleak prose to deliver "unintentionally funny" moments completely intentionally.
I have never watched Tarr but now I'll have to.
