Climates


Directed by: Nuri Bilge Ceylan

With Ebru Ceylan, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Nazan Kirilmis

"Like Albert Brooks' Modern Romance by way of Michelangelo Antonioni...Climates explores an on-again/off-again relationship poisoned by jealousy and obsession, but from a quiet, mesmerizing distance." (Onion AV Club) "A satisfyingly adult film, [it] paints a haunting portrait of existential solitude" (NY Times) and handily confirms Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan, (who also stars in the film as a middle-aged university professor, opposite his wife who plays his twentysomething girlfriend) as "one of the world's most accomplished filmmakers - handling the end of a relationship and the cloud of human confusion rising from its wreckage as if the subject had never before been attempted" (Village Voice). Cosponsored with the Turkish Student Association. More at nbcfilm.com/iklimler.
