Story
In this long, slow, hypnotic film about a bunch of men looking for a body in the endless eerie Anatolian landscape, Turkey’s star director Nuri Bilge Ceylan explores the human condition through side glances and offhand remarks, caring very little about time, especially the viewer’s time, in eventless sequences without conventional action. At the same time, for those willing to take the plunge, it is a deep and haunting work that lingers in the memory.
