Distant

Turkish writer and director Nuri Bilge Ceylan established himself as a legitimate heir to Andrey Tarkovskiy with this study of alienation. A young man leaves his village to visit his cousin in Istanbul where he hopes to find a job. However he finds the big city and its people distant from his reach as well as a job and a better life. He also fails to find support from his successful cousin suffering from different set of problems. Ceylan's observant eye lures into the psyche of lost men in the big city where human connection has been lost. Along with his talented cast and crew, Ceylan delivered a poetic masterpiece. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
