The Wild Pear Tree
Master Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Cannes winner Winter Sleep) returns with his most humane work to date, a profound and often funny meditation on the artistic life. Sinan (Aydin Doğu Demirkol), a wannabe writer, oscillates between the tourist city of Çanakkale and his home village, where he must come to terms with his gambling-addict father (a mesmerizing Murat Cemcir)… "Sensual and lyrical, tremendously well acted, heavy in visual and verbal metaphor, and… ablaze with pastoral beauty."—Daily Telegraph
