Kış Uykusu - Turkish ( 2014 ) Winter Sleep - " One Man's Journey to find meaning for life and relationship "
Nuri Bilge Ceylan's yet another magical film , which takes you to a journey of Human Emotions , their inner feelings and their soul searching for a answer to find the purpose of their existence. This everything well packed in a single most brilliant movie which ran for 3hr and 16 min which just felt so quick once you get along with it. Its about life of Aydin who is a former actor cum a rich wealthy person in locality owning a hotel for tourists adding to that many lands , renting houses and living a kings life there with all needs coming to his table. But when a man gets everything he needs there will be always something which he is longing for and here in this case his relationship with his young wife Nihal & his sister Necla went sour.So this movie is about the how Aydin starts to realize life how it is and how he adapts to accept it as it comes by making amends to his wife to win back his relationship with her and whether this search for answer lead to his enlightenment forms remaining part of the story.
Though the movie is lengthy, it would still be a experience to watch it if you can empathize with the characters played and blend with it. More to that its how this picture perfect cinematic frames which glues your eyes to it makes it more engaging and poetic. Every single frame in this movie is a virtual treat and no wonder what else we can expect from a talent like Nuri. That village near Anatolia , those cave shaped house that entire locality is just what a man desire to settle in and the way this film captures these places to silver screen is just breathtaking. Its definitely a virtual ride for sure and more to that the BGM is so melancholic giving us a melting feel. Special mention for some scenes were Argument between his sister n himself or the discussion between Aydin & wife or the pre climax scene where Ismail burn money in fire were all wonderfully made. This movie is definitely a treat for any world cinema liker and definitely not to be missed. But be sure you are well prepared to watch this lengthy saga before making a choice. For me its just yet another finest masterpiece from Nuri.
