New Once Upon a Time in Anatolia movie list

New movie list Once Upon a Time in Anatolia


In the dead of night, a group of men - including a police commissioner, a prosecutor, a doctor and a murder suspect - drive through the tenebrous Anatolian countryside, the serpentine roads and rolling hills lit only by the headlights of their cars. They are searching for a corpse, the victim of a brutal murder. The suspect, who claims he was drunk, can't remember where he buried the body. As the night draws on, details about the murder emerge and the investigators' own secrets and hypocrisies come to light. In the Anatolian steppes, nothing is what it seems; and when the body is found, the real questions begin. -- (C) Official Site

Review For Once Upon a Time in Anatolia

It runs 157 minutes, and I can't say you don't feel them. You do - but in the way you would, reading a very good book in an uncomfortable chair.
Wesley Morris-Boston Globe

A movie of such dark, smoldering intensity that it's easy to forget that half of it takes place in near darkness.
Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post

A police procedural as existential inquiry, set in a remote dreamscape of mystery and foreboding.
Sheri Linden-Los Angeles Times

Ceylan doesn't slap us with big dramatic moments, but allows us to live along with his characters as things occur to them.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times

It is epic in its aims and achievements yet modest in its resources: some superb actors, stunning landscapes and a resonant, understated script.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune

A gorgeously shot crime story with emotionally layered characters and an indelible atmosphere of unease.
Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail

This is a very slow-moving movie, but it also has its attractions, such as its beautiful cinematography by Gökhan Tiryaki, particularly the wide angle shots showing the vastness of the Turkish landscape.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope

The literal "once upon a time" of a series of disillusioned men who no longer think about the future because they obsess over the past.
Christopher Long-Movie Metropolis

It's a masterpiece crime story that tells us as much about searching for the truth in modern Turkey as it does about violent criminals and those who prosecute them.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews

You can't expect a slow burn drama to payoff spectacularly unless it burns slowly, and this is precisely what Turkish auteur Nuri Bilge Ceylan orchestrates in this masterful murder-mystery.
Simon Miraudo-Quickflix

It's a unique film that is best enjoyed knowing very little about it - so go and take a look
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile

Mesmerising cinema... This is a film that deserves your attention. It may be slow and the plot points obtuse, but the rewards are great
Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile

Once Upon a Time in Anatolia is a film that stays on the mind days after the credits role. While quiet in tone it is rich in character and atmosphere.
Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews

... while quiet in tone, is rich in its character studies...
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews

Nuri Bilge Ceylan uses a matter of life and death to look at the mundane, human nature, and the mystical effect of women on men in his sixth feature film, a masterpiece.
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews

The pace is sometimes grindingly slow, and at more than two-and-a-half hours, Ceylan's exploration of its characters' shifting views on the truth can become wearying.
Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune

...as if a lush landscape painting is being invaded by the cinema.
Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm

With its wide-open setting and taciturn, macho characters, it's a film that earns the right to use the "Once Upon a Time" title that Sergio Leone made so perversely famous.
Shawn Levy-Oregonian

The denouement offers a satisfactory conclusion to a drama that, in its scope, rigour and discipline, confirms Ceylan as a contemporary master.
Donald Clarke-Irish Times

Ceylan doesn't offer much in the way of resolution, but his oblique approach does cumulatively imply much about ripple effect the crime has on all those who come into contact with it.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman
