The Turin Horse

The Turin Horse is a profoundly bleak and existential drama. Audience emotional responses are dominated by Sadness and Melancholy, reflecting the film's tragic narrative of decline, the suffering of the aging horse, and the inevitable destitution of the farmer and his daughter. Empathy is high, as viewers connect with the characters' struggle against overwhelming forces. A pervasive sense of Anxiety and Disturbing hopelessness stems from the slow, relentless decay of their livelihood and the bleak, repetitive daily existence. While not uplifting, the film's stark cinematography and philosophical depth may evoke a degree of Awe and Curiosity about its profound themes of human endurance and the end of times.
