Turkish writer and director Nuri Bilge Ceylan delivers another stunning film with this existential thriller. A group of law enforcement officers take a criminal to a remote area to locate the body of the victim. Ceylan's assured vision digs beyond the surface of the ordinary police procedure to expose the humanity of its characters. His films are acquired taste but extremely rewarding for those looking for cinema beyond entertainment that addresses the human condition. The talented cast and crew includes Muhammet Uzuner, Yilmaz Erdogan, Taner Birsel as the doctor, detective and prosecutor. Gökhan Tiryaki's cinematography is perfectly in tune with Ceylan's vision. 1001-Films' coverage of the 64th Festival de Cannes.
