Facing the life in the snow all the time, people are longing for the warmth of others

The society gives modern people freedom and space, and it also makes each other farther away, and the road to mutual warmth is longer. A bridge like "relatives" can't enter people's hearts. If they are too close,...

Oh, it started in winter. Snow, hillside, half of the hillside where the sun shines. Anatolia. Straits of Istanbul. There were steep slopes everywhere, wow, the big red bamboo basket slipped down from the upper floor. Mam’s appearance reminds me of when I was in Kashmir, India. Or maybe, many Kurds...

——Alienation and loneliness reflected in long shots

I won't say much about the storyline. The whole film has no background music, and the picture is very beautiful . Occasionally, there are very realistic sounds. The images and scenery are laid out. Then the sun is white, the snow is far away, the mountains are in the sky, the sea, the...

This film reminds me of Jarmusch's "Mo Ying in Paradise". In "Mo Ying in Paradise", a cool cousin who came to the United States from Budapest stayed at her cousin's house. The first half of the film depicts the awkward relationship between the two people. He is proud of his identity as a new...

The first time I watched a Turkish movie, it was a boring movie, but luckily it didn't last long. It's the kind of stuffiness that gives people space to think. Just two leading actors, a few supporting roles, and few lines made this film sweep Cannes in 2003. The earth is so big and time is so...

The first time I came into contact with Ceylon was watching his recent work "Once Upon a Time in Asia Minor" in Beijing a few months ago. The main scene of the story is in a poor and backward area in the interior of Turkey. A group of investigators lead the suspects to find a place in the vast and...

    After watching "Distant", I once again experienced the sense of despair and excitement of drinking to quench my thirst, and I was sober. In the speechless gallery, there was no intention to extricate himself. It seems that the long cry of "Lone Wolf" wandering in the freezing cold is his life...

A textbook with fixed long-lens photography composition and director's scheduling. The picture is quiet and long-distance, more than poignant, lack of excitement, the overall tension of the story is low, the dialogue is small, and the scene is too large, so the narrative rhythm is extremely slow,...

From "Hibernation" to "Three Monkeys" to "Distant", I have also read many film reviews about Ceylon, and what I learned is, first of all, his long shots, "He prefers to fix the shots and focus on the close ones. At a certain point, then let the characters enter and exit the picture at a distance,...
