Leaburn O 3d There’s mystery, intrigue, political commentary and plenty of excellent satire in this long drawn out hunt for a murder victim. It’s artfully directed but a little long in keeping with Ceylon’s usual storytelling. Watched on DVD. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Oct 4 Success in 2 hours and 37 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See more Guru َ Feb 20 i would only ever recommend this movie as a torture method for someone you hate, put them in a closed room and play this movie. I like a slow paced movie/show but only when it is well written and interesting to watch, there is nothing rewarding about this one tho See more cem y 08/20/2022 This is a masterpiece which could be one of the examples for demonstrating what cinema is. Every shot in the movie is a beautiful photograph taken at a perfect place with a perfect angle. It is so realistic that one, who belongs to Anatolia, might need to visit his/her memoirs.

But when it ended I was left with the wistful "But what comes next?" concerning numerous characters I had come to care about. Virtually every actor in the great ensemble cast was distinctly limned with depth so that they were clearly the centers of their own dramas, and not merely bit players in the protagonist's. The film is effortlessly atmospheric, in its use of natural light and darkness, in the sounds of the wind, the cars, the birds. No special effects needed here. It reminds me of my favorite scene from Spielberg's "Jaws," where Captain Quint recounts the sinking and aftermath of the battleship Indianapolis. Lit by a single, swinging, bare bulb, with listeners spellbound, eyes wide. Much of this film has that feel. For a movie with virtually no music, the soundtrack was nonetheless powerful and haunting. Based on only this film, director Nuri Bilge Ceylan has vaulted onto my list of great artists, and I cannot wait to see more of his work. See more Read all reviews
