"Be Vakit (Times and Winds) is a haunting portrait of the tensions that lie beneath the seemingly placid surface of a remote, beautiful and rugged mountain village perched between sea and sky, untouched by the modern world. It recounts the dreams and desires of villagers whose simple lives are regulated by the calls to prayer that divide the day (and the film) into five sections (the Turkish title literally translates as "five times"). The main characters are three youngsters, two boys and a girl living in this harsh, strictly disciplined culture, where both animals and children are frequently beaten. In subtle touches, the picture deals with the early sexual awakening of the three, their communion with nature and revolt against their parents.... Erdem's lyrical and meditative film is visually stunning ... with an extraordinary score by Arvo Pärt." (Elliot Stein, Tribeca Film Festival) More at kino.com 35mm Cinemascope
