A New Nuri Bilge Ceylan...
is rising.. and his name is Abdullah Oguz
well done Mr. Oguz. Nice and touching movie with great performances.
Although I do not have the time to elobarate it right now, Nuri Bilge Ceylan is much more distinctive and talented than Oğuz. Of course the " talented " part is a very subjective quality, but Nuri Bilge Ceylan looks like he will be one of the few masters who manage to create a new cinematic language in the footsteps of Tarkovsky. All Oğuz does is to modernize Turkish cinematic standarts, much like Yavuz Turgul does.
Anyway, I do agree the central performances were phenomenal though.
