Three Monkeys






















Director- Nuri Bilge Ceylan
Cast - Yavuz Bingol, Hatice Aslan, Ahmet Rifat Sungar, Ercan Kesal, Cafer Kose and Gurkan Aydin
Awarded – Best Director at Cannes
Nominated - Palme d'Or award

Justifies the title, one of the few Turkish Films I have seen, intense plot, with a knack for detail and subtlety. Characters are quite immersed in themselves, and not much of dialogue to move the plot, which progresses at a natural pace. Will add ‘Climates’ to the queue.

Nuri Bilge Ceylan has brought Turkish film-making a whole new face and the much needed international attention. Beautful country, beautiful people seen through his lens.
