DIRECTOR: NURI BILGE CEYLAN
TURKEY
Fans of Nuri Bilge Ceylan's evocative Distant (PIFF 28) will welcome his new film, which again finds magnificence in the everyday and what it means to be living in Ceylan's home city of Istanbul. Climates presents the break–up of a metropolitan couple, university lecturer Isa and television art–director Bahar (played by Ceylan and his wife Ebru), who we first meet on a Turkish beach not long before Isa suggests that they should separate. From there, Ceylan acutely explores Isa's mixed, complex and utterly recognizable reaction to the split, depicting emotional distance through character close–up. Spring, summer, autumn, winter: each makes an appearance in representing the shifting conditions of a broken pair of lovers wrenched by love and loss. Winner of the Critic's Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. ( 101 min )
Filmography: The Small Town (97), Clouds of May (99), Distant (02).
