“Rob Tregenza’s THE FISHING PLACE (2025) is a mesmerizing work of slow cinema. The director, who served as a cinematographer for Béla Tarr and Ágnes Hranitzsky’s WERCKMEISTER HARMONIES (2000), is an expert at long, languid takes. In his new film, he uses them with a freshness and unpredictability; in turn, weaving a narrative of brooding power.” 📽️ 🎞️ #film #movies #cinema #CineMastodon #MoMA #MoMAFilm #NYC
The Fishing Place
Rob Tregenza’s The Fishing Place (2025) is a mesmerizing work of slow cinema. The director, who served as a cinematographer for Béla Tarr and Ágnes Hranitzsky’s Werckmeister Harmonies (2000), is an expert at long, languid takes. In his new film, he uses them with a freshness and unpredictability; in turn, weaving a narrative of brooding power. The film’s story is fairly small in its scope. A Nazi officer tasks a housekeeper (Ellen Dorrit) with observing and reporting on a priest (Andreas Lust) in the rural Norwegian town of Telemark.
