Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Three men gather for a friendly evening of chat and drink. Soon after, one will be murdered. Where is the body? Why did the evening end in violence? A snobbish prosecutor, a hard-nosed police chief, a doctor, and several others set off in the dead of night with the suspects to find the burial site. As they search through the all-but-inpenetrable darkness, we not only learn about the crime itself, but much about all these men. The dialogue is as great as any you will ever hear; the film is as great as any I've ever seen. Vengeance, guilt, repentance--- all are explored in seemingly casual speech. Kanopy: free to anyone with a library card, just sign up. I believe it also is available for purchase, streaming. This is a film that rewards multiple viewings: each and every time I've seen it (don't ask!) I have come away with a deeper respect for the artistry of Ceylan--- and more aware of how perfectly cast the principals were. |
Rent the film! It's far less than one'd pay for a box of popcorn at a theater... nt, posted on April 5, 2021 at 06:49:08 | |
