Here Ceylan takes a gigantic leap from auteur of quality European art house to the absolute forefront of the cinema of the new millennium. It seems that his previous films have been intimate rehearsals for this one where he finally had established the clout and financial means to fully realise his vision. It is in my opinion remarkably better than anything else he has ever done and for me it is quite conceivably the film of the year (maybe in a tie with Tarr). The pacing and unique 'unfolding of a crime film' reminds me of Cristi Puiu's similarly masterful, but much more intimate Aurora. I can't wait to see where Ceylan will go from here as this film seems to both encompass and transcend every aesthetic idea he ever presented in his work. Who would have thought he would develop them into something this singular.Lasse Winther Jensennoreply@blogger.com
