Cliamtes - Turkish

If you have seen Three Monkeys, then you know his style, Nuri Bilge Ceylan's. Climates too is a similar treatment, you can feel Nuri. His innate style of working is evident throughout the movie. The stillness and the time he gives to each shot, gets you right into the plot. Not an easy film, it may grow on you, it may not, it would not matter, it may matter, although the subject and treatment would linger, and may be an appreciation for the works of Nuri.

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.
