Another long movie, by award-winning Turkish director, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, about a self-righteous young man who thinks he's seen them all and knows them all (like we all used to), but is in for a very harsh lesson. Ceylan's recent boasts neither the originality of his Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, nor the intensity of Winter Sleep. It felt as though the director had lost his magic touch, and while I was interested in what went on in each long scene, wasn't as much in the grand whole. Curious how fast the man's style has died out on me.
