Turkish master Ceylan continues his extraordinarily consistent form in this dialogue-heavy three-hour drama with echoes of ‘Winter Sleep’ and ‘Anatolia’.
Tag / Nuri Bilge Ceylan
Winter Sleep (2014)
Ceylan continues to explore the beauty and peril of human communication with aplomb in this long but ultimately fruitful cinematic sermon.
Climates (2006)
A slow-burning Antonioni-esque drama with not many words, and a largely effective evocation of the fragility of marriage and complexities of communication.
Three Monkeys (2008)
A departure from Ceylan’s earlier works, this is more experimental in its treatment and measured in its pacing, but less engrossing.
Once Upon a Time in Anatolia (2011)
This methodical investigative procedural is ultimately rewarding despite long stretches of stasis, and sees Ceylan in top-tier form.
