This is the my first Ceylan movie that i would consider not fantastic. The script and the story is just so ordinary, even with the proverbial three monkeys theme and however you wanna ecorporate that into your understanding of the family dynamics its just so very simple. I would imagine Ceylan made it a point to aim at a specific tone throughout his films that would follow Three Monkeys, like the bleak comedy of Anatolia, the epic slow death of Winter Sleep and the helplessness of the youth in The wild pear tree. He seems to try to construct something out of dry air with too much faith in his DOP and there’s no tone, there’s no graduality here that’s noticeable that you can point to and say here, i feel it what Ceylan’s trying to say here. That being said i do understand the choice to do something as dry as this given thats the natural progression after Uzak and Climates, but damm, my guy Nuri went full dry nuke on this one, mostly for the worse.
