CINEMA DAY: Kis Uykusu/Winter sleep (2014)


"Wintersleep" is a three-hour conversation film in which the whole drama is hidden in dialogues. It is worth to mention that this film has received a golden palm on the Cannes Festival in 2014 and won the hearts of many directors. 
The story is about a man named Aydin, a former actor who opened a small hotel somewhere in Anatolia. In winter, when the snow falls on the Anatolian steppe, Aydin stays alone with two women - a recently divorced sister and wife, who doesn’t love him for a long time. 
Usually, when the film is good, we can speak so much about it, but this film is different, we need to listen to it very and very attentively. This film is built on dialogues, which everyone understands in different ways. 
"Winter sleep" is a philosophical masterpiece, which is for the "thinking viewer". And it's masterpiece because of the dialogues (as I said before): about the problems of societies, about non-standard ideas, for example how to defeat the crime, and just about the people’s relationships. Conversations between main characters automatically immerse us in this wrapped atmosphere of reflection and we quietly enter into a dialogue with them. 
Actor's play is at the highest level. The scenery is as detailed as it can be: there is nothing superfluous, everything has sense. 
I can compare this film with “Toni Erdmann”, they both are very good, but you can’t say a lot about what you have seen in them, coz the meaning is lost, we should listen these movies with our ears.
