Climates (2006)
(Iklimler)
Country: TUR/FR/NL
Technical: col 102m
Director: Nuri Bilge Ceylan
Cast: Ebru Ceylan, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Nazan Kirilmis
Synopsis:
While on holiday a Turkish couple grow increasingly aware of their estrangement and separate. On his return to Istanbul the husband resumes a torrid affair with a married woman, but then on an impulse chases his ex to a wintry film location, where she is working, to tell her he is a changed man.
Review:
An extraordinarily potent collection of images, often held in extremely long takes, building up a picture of a couple unable to relate to one another emotionally, so that in the end the feckless, and perhaps desperate, older man is reduced to roleplaying in order to win back his partner. Throughout, landscape is used to throw their predicament into sharp relief.
