First screened in August 2014

Twitter Capsule: Ceylan is onto his character's broody narcissism but film has plenty of its own. Shot with intensity but clichés abound.

VOR:   Ceylan still assembling a style that could really be something, with more finesse and less stifling atmosphere. Obviously, many are converts already. Seasonal imagery feels... not fresh.
