SFFS Presents: 'Once Upon a Time in Anatolia' May 25, 2012

SPECIAL RETURN ENGAGEMENT IN 35MM

Ceylan’s (‘Three Monkeys’, SFFS 2009) masterful police procedural, filmed on Turkey’s expansive Anatolian steppes, depicts a group of law officials riding around the countryside searching for a murder site. Unfortunately for the traveling party, however, the accused can’t find the exact location. As the caravan stops and starts, conversations reveal other mysteries and several characters besides the arrested man unburden themselves to one another. Though the film references classic westerns and rivals their visual splendors, ‘Anatolia’ is more deeply concerned with the human condition whether revealed in the group’s reactions to a beautiful woman from the country or a young doctor’s autopsy of the murdered man.
