Film maker Nuri Bilge Ceylan's meditative, visually stunning
contributions to the 'New Turkish Cinema' have marked him out as a
pioneer of his medium. Reaping success from his prize-winning,
breakout film Uzak (2002), and from later festival favourites Once
Upon a Time in Anatolia (2011) and Winter Sleep (2014), he has
quickly established himself as an original and provocative writer,
director and producer of 21st century cinema. In an age where
Turkey's modernisation has created societal tensions and departures
from past tradition, Ceylan's films present a cinema of dislocation
and a vision of 'nostalgia' understood as homesickness: sick of
being away from home; sick of being at home. This book offers an
overdue study of Ceylan's work and a critical examination of the
principle themes therein. In particular, chapters focus on time and
space, melancholy and loneliness, absence, rural and urban
experience, and notions of paradox, as explored through films which
are often slow and uncompromising in their pessimistic outlook.
Moving on from the tendency to situate Ceylan's oeuvre exclusively
within the canon of 'New Turkish Cinema', one of this book's major
achievements is also to assess the influence of classic European
thought, literature and film and how such a notably minimal - and
in many ways nationally-specific - approach translates to an
increasingly transnational context for film. This will prove an
important book for film students and scholars, and those interested
in Turkish visual culture.
