Well, at least it was better than Winter's Sleep

why would anyone wanna live in Turkey?

Ceylan's best? Still, rather unremarkable. Is this really the best world cinema/arthouse has to offer? How low must the standards be?

some world cinema is interesting, and I even think Anatolia is one of those films. But there is a lot of crap to sift through on the festival circuit. Some really bad ideas out there, pic related.

Oh come on mate, it was pretty fantastic. The last fourty minutes were a drag, true, but the rest was great.

Winter Sleep though was weak outside the debate scenes, still well shot though, but it lacked Anatolias core.

>the rest was great so it's fantastic

You guys just didn't get it.

I didn't think there was filler at the end. It's when the movie reveals that it was about the doctor this whole time. The reveal is very classy and unexpected. Also the conversation with the prosecutor in his office ripped my heart out. I think the movie really finds itself in the final act.

It's been a while since I saw it, might have to watch it again. But I remember it being a bit boring even for an "arthouse" film

You don't wanna go down that route mate. Forty minutes of noticable slower tempo and less interesting thigns happenign doesn't crash a movie, considering the last 80 minutes of Seven Samurai sucks Donkey Cock, the first 80 minutes of Solaris are unbearable, the last forty minutes of Yi Yi is kinda shite as well and the first two goddamn hours of Tokyo Story is incredibly uninteresting.

3 Hour drama arthouse films very rarely have a drop in pace and quality.

*very often, sorry

that's wrong.

It was okay. That scene where the girl hands them tea in the dark room is the only reason it's worth watching since it had a dream-like quality I've never seen in another film.

> main characters getting killed by offscreen Sniper in far away wide shots
> retarded tactics
> bandits fighting to the last man despite 200 villagers left and the village having nothing in it
> awful 50's action with people very obviously not getting hurt
> plot and character development coming to a complete halt
> incredibly repetetive "let one in and kill him" was repeated like eight times.

I'm not saying 100 % of it was awful, but overall it was pretty trash.

These are just action film conventions INVENTED by Seven Samurai. Sorry you didn't get it.

I don't care if it's conventions or not, it was still terrible.

"Other movies do it too" does not excuse it.

Watch older movies kid
