Distant

2002. Turkey. Directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Screenplay by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Cemil Kavukçu. With Muzaffer Ozdemir, Mehmet Emin Toprak. Ceylan’s cinema of loneliness achieved international recognition with this, his third feature, which won the Grand Jury Prize and an acting award for its two leading performers at the Cannes Film Festival. Mahmut (Ozdemir) is a cosmopolitan photographer who lives in a permanent funk in fashionable Istanbul; when an awkward country cousin, Yusuf (Toprak), turns up on his doorstep, seeking a place to crash while he conducts a futile search for employment, Mahmut is both grateful for the companionship and resentful of the intrusion. The men may share the space of Ceylan’s meticulously composed frames, but their lives move inexorably in different directions, toward different solitudes. In Turkish; English subtitles. 110 min.
