Hi all
Does anyone have any recommendations for other films similar to Mr Ceylan's? Excluding Tarkovsky please, I've seen his already ;)

I see the IMDB's ingenious automatic suggstion system is recommending such timeless classics of world cinema as James Cameron's TITANIC!?!?!?!

If anyone can provide anything a bit better than this id love to hear.

Regards
Arkid

If you liked "Uzak," I would heartily recommend "Tony Takitani," "Shcultze Gets the Blues," and "Story of the Weeping Camel." Also, "Himalaya," and "Dersu Uzala."

VERY good choices - the three of these I've seen are all excellent (Camel, Himalaya, Dersu Uzala, which is a different film for Kurosawa, an outdoor adventure)

My only regret in life is that I'm not someone else - Woody Allen

You should also try Tabutta Rovasata (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0127311/) and Karbuz Kabugundan Gemiler Yapmak (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325675/).

The style of this movie reminds me of Tsai Ming-liang. Try "What Time Is It There?" If you like that director, also try Hou Hsiao-hsien's "Millenium Mambo."

check out Apichatpong Weerasethakul's "Sud sanaeha" and "Sang sattawat" (in Thai) or Cristian Mungiu's "4 luni, 3 saptamani si 2 zile" (in Romanian)

I was very much reminded by the Greek director Theo Angelopoulos, specially his masterpiece Eternity and a Day, in the way that the movie is a reflection of life, thoughts provoking , the long steady shots and the whole atmosphere of the movie, Distant was great but Eternity and a Day was a richer experience for me.

If you liked this movie, you will probably like these:

The Banishment (2007):

The Return (2003):

I really love them both.

I'd say Antonioni, specifically The Red Desert. Also Kiarostami, Mohsen Makhmalbaf, Times and Winds, My Way Home, Ozon, Denis, Chabrol, Haneke, Bergman, Kieslowski, Campion, Secrets and Lies.
