Nuri Bilge Ceylan

“Men can see nothing around them that is not their own image; everything speaks to them of themselves. Their very landscape is alive.”
(Karl Marx)

Nuri Bilge Ceylan is another Cannes winner new-realist director. There are neither holy moments nor breakthroughs in his cinema, there plays no music when the guy kisses the girl, his created situations feel real and the spaces are the feelings. His moments of life are deliberately constructed by the real play of events of timeless and placesess stories. So, that makes it even possible to imagine both the director's Istanbul, Dostoyevsky's St. Petersburg, Kafka's Prag or an old man's countryside visions.

And I'm excited to see his last work "Three Monkeys".
