What Distant Is About
A man from the provinces whose factory has closed comes to Istanbul hoping for work and stays with a distant relative who photographs for a living, and the visit lasts long enough to make both of them uncomfortable. Nuri Bilge Ceylan builds almost the whole film out of silence: two men share a flat and say nothing real to each other. That the photographer gave up his art for tile catalogues passes in one line and explains his entire character. The snowbound Istanbul is cold and empty rather than picturesque.
