This study aims to analyze The Turin Horse (2011) which is one of the pieces of Bela Tarr filmography, in the light of movement image and time image concepts of Deleuze. According to the claim that this study relies on, the cinematographic language of Bela Tarr have parallels with Deleuzian sense of cinema. In Deleuzian point of view, cinema is the creative exploration of the world. In this vain, Tarr completed a half finished story creatively by making the film of The Turin Horse. The term of movement, plays a cental role both in the perception of Tarr and Deleuze. This study attempts to understand this similarity. In accordance with this purpose, the cinematographic elements of the film are examined within the framework of movement image and time image concepts which Deleuze developed. Cinematographic elements of the film are evaluated due to time image and movement image concepts. Moreover, there are several discussions related to cinematographic language of the director. The discussions are visually enriched. In other words, cinematographic elements are expounded in Deleuzian terms. In this process, the political side of the film is also discussed. The study also includes the effort of examination related to elements which make the film political.
