ONCE UPON A TIME IN
ANATOLIA
An exquisite, little-seen film in the U.S., Nuri Bilge Ceylan's epic police
procedural from Turkey details the frailty of investigation and by larger
extents, human beings. Paced as a meditation of the aftermath of a crime,
"Once Upon A Time In Anatolia" is magnificent in many respects, and, had it been
an English language film, might well be on a lot of ten best lists this year.
Mr. Ceylan tracks the protocol and personalities of the police who transport a
man suspected of a murder to a police precinct. "Anatolia" is best when it
mines the complexities of cops and criminals and the journeys they take.
This film percolates with tension. Filled with cues and clues, the final
minutes are stunning. Excellent work from the entire cast, including
Muhammet Uzuner. Released in the U.S. in January 2012. Two hours
and thirty-eight minutes. In Turkish with English subtitles. On
Blu-Ray/DVD. Distributor: Cinema Guild. Original
