    disappointing

    I'm beginning to think the Guardian and Observer sometimes partly mark films on the director's history, this one being a case in point. Their reviews were indicative of people trying to see the best in something. I'm afraid there's nothing at all here, I didn't see any sign of the vaunted lighting/cinematography after the first scene, the story has been done a thousand times, and Ceylan's meditative pacing only works if the story captivates. Devotees of the sublime Climates will watch it anyway as I did.

    This was useless as the soundtrack was in Russian? Anyway , incompehensible and there were no subtitles. Waste of a rental. I think we should get a refund. It went back by return of post.

    First, let’s be clear: Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan is a major talent, one of the best you’ll find on the art-house circuit. If you haven’t already done so, you should check out Distant (AKA Uzak, 2002) and Climates (2006). Now, let’s be frank: Three Monkeys is a significant shift towards the mainstream, and, I’m afraid, a mis-step. This is not a universal opinion, not by a long way. In fact Ceylan won the best director prize at Cannes last year. So what do Read more
