The new film from director of Once upon a time in Anatolia, About Dry Grasses is quintessential slow cinema. The acting is naturalistic, the lighting low, the scenes all protracted, taking place almost in real time. (“I try not to cut it as much as possible,” says Ceylan.) The camera moves only when necessary.
A wholly engaging film that seeks to challenge the viewer’s own sense of self and purpose. A modern masterpiece, standing comparison with the work of the auteurs Ceylan most admires: Bresson, Tarkovsky, Antonioni and Ozu.
