Turkish Delight Print E-mail
Sunday, 20 May 2007

Sun. May 20 & Mon. May 21

Why do we love Boston and its environs? Well, here it is, the dawn of Summer Blockbuster Season with all sorts of Spidery and Shrecky things out there, and we're able to counter that by wondering: Gee, minimalist Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan led a renaissance in Turkish film-making, but has only four feature films to his credit. I wonder if there's any place to see them. It just so happens Harvard Film Archive has 'em all through Monday May 21. "The Small Town" (with the short "Cocoon") wraps it up Monday (9 p.m.).  films deal a lot with obsessions, the solitary life, insecurity - that sort of thing. The New York Times Manohla Dargis compared Ceylan to Antonioni, and writing about "Climates" said that "while (Ceylan's) films are similary personal, they're more accessible ... The mysteries of his work are those of the heart, the head, the soul." Tickets: $8.
