I've seen some snoozies and doozies in my time, but this one wins hands down with a double scoop of horse poop on top. I was sucked in only because of the name, "The Turin Horse". I'm such a sucker for anything to do with horses.
This movie is so bad it makes me want to recommend that you watch it, but you seem like a nice bunch of folks, so I won't do that to you. It was Hungarian made, black and white, english sub-titles, but they really didn't need them, because there was practically zero dialogue. To take the place of dialogue they played the most depressing, funeral-like 5 note music throughout the 2 hour and 34 minutes. We actually watched the first hour 2 nights ago, then yesterday boredom set in as it rained all afternoon and curiosity got the best of me, when I started thinking (that was my first mistake) that surely there must be more to the movie as it progresses. That was the hook, even my hubby kept watching thinking there had to be more to it.
A brief synopsis is that it took place on a farm in Hungary (I assume), where an old farmer and his grown daughter lived. There was a horrible wind storm taking place and the movie was broken up into six day segments. Everyday was exactly the same, as they went about their short daily routine that consisted of the daughter dressing and undressing the father, as apparently had suffered a stroke and had no use of his right arm. Her boiling two potatoes,which they ate with their hands and staring out the window, then going to bed when it got dark. The old guy apparently drove his old horse to town or somewhere everyday,they never made it clear where he went on the god forsaken plains. After he returned on the second day in the windstorm, the horse refused to move anymore, so it was put in the barn and that was pretty much the extent of the movies connection to horses. The farmer stayed home for the next four days and other than that break in the daily routine, every day was pretty much the same as the one before.
The whole time you were watching paint dry and listening to the wind blow, the gawd-awful music was playing. Seriously, that was the whole movie, all 2 hours and 34 minutes of it.
This is not a feel good movie, so unless you feel the need to be seriously depressed:dispirited: I'd skip this one. But, if like me curiosity overcomes you, you can catch it on Netflixs.
Okay, if can you top this for bad movies, I'll send you a bag of popcorn!
