NURI BILGE CEYLAN’S CLIMATES OPENS IN LOS ANGELES ON NOVEMBER 10!

“CLIMATES PUTS CEYLAN ON A PAR WITH INGMAR BERGMAN!”
-Jonathan Romney, SCREEN DAILY  

“Nuri Bilge Ceylan sharpens his vision like a knife with Climates,
a sparse exacting drama stunningly photographed!”
-Anthony Kaufman, INDIEWIRE  

Winner of the prestigious Fipresci Award at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, Climates is internationally acclaimed writer-director Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s sublime follow-up to his Cannes multi-award winner Distant. Beautifully drawn and meticulously observed, the film vividly recalls the cinema of Italian master Michelangelo Antonioni with its poetic use of landscape and the incisive, exquisitely visual rendering of loneliness, loss and the often-elusive nature of happiness. During a sweltering summer vacation on the Aegean coast, the relationship between middle-aged professor Isa (played by Ceylan himself) and his younger, television producer girlfriend Bahar (the luminous Ebru Ceylan, Ceylan’s real-life wife) brutally implodes. Back in Istanbul that fall, Isa rekindles a torrid affair with a previous lover. But when he learns that Bahar has left the city for a job in the snowy East, he follows her there to win her back. Boasting subtly powerful performances, heart-stoppingly stunning cinematography (Ceylan’s first work in high definition) and densely textured sound design, Climates is the Turkish filmmaker’s most gorgeous rumination yet on the fragility and complexity of human relationships.

“POWERFUL AND ABSORBING...STUNNINGLY PHOTOGRAPHED.”
-Andrew O'Hehir, SALON

“SUBTLE, SUBSTANTIAL AND SUBLIMELY BEAUTIFUL!

Ceylan has lost none of his willingness to probe both the less attractive aspects of everyday human behaviour and the cruel ironies of life, so that the film feels almost painfully honest. That said, he does so with such wit, intelligence and exquisite artistry-- if the Festival comes up with more visually stunning film than this, I'll be very surprised-- that the film confirms him as one of the most exciting cinematic talents to emerge in recent years.

-Geoff Andrew, TIME OUT LONDON
