It' s the biggest cliché on comments that this film is so slow. This film is not a pop-corn movie; you must think and feel while watching it.
Besides, it has a good storyline and storytelling is brilliant. Visuality is on top, and very well acted.
If you call yourself as a cinephile (cinema-lover), you can't get bored on this film while watching it; because it has too much things to get.
It's a good movie indeed.....if you have drank 5 cups of coffee before entering the theatre. Otherwise, there are big odds that you're gonna get some sleep during the movie.
shareAgreed with OP.
I personaly liked this film.
ps:
a classic nuri bilge ceylan line....
10/9
Cannot agree more. Excellent, well-made movie
shareI didn't think it was slow or boring - it was very interesting and a joy to look at, even if it was rather depressing. I was way more bored during this season's favorites - Slumdog Millionaire and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
shareIt was slow-paced, but that is not what bothered me. I did not like the licentious little boy who masturbated into the kefir container. I did not understand the relevance.
shareIt's an amazing film. Slow. Where do these people have to go?
They are in a hurry to eat some more food?
If you think this film is too slow and you will fall asleep, or if you need 5 cups of coffee or some sh!t, then it's most likel that you watch too many Hollywood films. Why bother seeing this if you sound like you will 'suffer' from drowsiness? Go watch your fast action flicks or Hollywood genre films that are so fast paced.
Movies like Three Monkeys is about appreciating the structure of the shots and visuality, and how the chaos slowly unveils itself. If you don't have the patience or mindset to appreciate such splendid filmmaking, then I don't understand what you are doing in this film thread.
This is the reason why I hate the so called "cinephiles", this movie has the worst pace in the cinema history, when you need to show a man sleeping in slowmotion you have very strong problems with you story. And no, I am not a fat american that love Transformers or whatever, you need to see a lot more movies to learn what "storytelling" or "visuality" means.
shareagreed, "cinephiles" sometimes like to throw that word around smugly. the movie would be interesting if they actually built up the plot or characters, or if they turned it into a short by shortening or deleting the scenes of the characters standing/sitting/lying down.
i also found it annoying how every single trivial sound was made to be extremely loud, presumably for emphasis. especially when the clock was loudly ticking and then stopped ticking so the phone could loudly ring. i guess "cinephiles" like to hear sand artificially crunching under shoes that sound like tap shoes on marble when a character is wearing sneakers on asphalt as much as they like hear a man's breath rustling his nose hairs.
