Turkish master Ceylan continues his extraordinarily consistent form in this dialogue-heavy three-hour drama with echoes of ‘Winter Sleep’ and ‘Anatolia’.

  • 1 Comment

A slow-burning Antonioni-esque drama with not many words, and a largely effective evocation of the fragility of marriage and complexities of communication.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Three Monkeys (2008)
