True cinematic view of how a film being made

The problems the crew face during the shooting is what i have imagined how the process of filming would look like.This is the first movie that exactly shown this reality and struggles and disappointments of a filmaker in a very true scaleThough there were some scenes where the actors childishly failed to act, and saw the camera istead, it was also convinced me as it was part of the documenting the behaviours of the non artists.

A real environment and dialogues!

Again the same level and nothing changing, better than the contrary! It is a film that fascinates people with its long duration and different location shootings. It looks so real to life, I can't tell you. The realism of the dialogue is great! All players performed very realistic. Even the little boy Ali plays better than most Turkish players today. Nuri Bilge Ceylan presents us in a realistic way how a film has turned into art.⭐ 100/81

COUNTRY STORIES GOES ON

Nuri Bilge Ceylan's second feature film, a sequel to Kasaba. It shocked and impressed me in the final act. When I look at it now, it really shows what Ceylan can do in future.
