About Dry Grasses
Facing allegations of sexual misconduct, a disillusioned teacher in a remote village meets a colleague who may help make sense of the challenges at hand. Includes intermission.
Director: Nuri Bilge Ceylan
198 mins – includes intermission / 2023 / Turkey, Includes Subtitles
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.
Although there are lengthy silences, the film is also very talky. It becomes wholly engaging, deeply challenging to the viewer’s own sense of self and purpose. It’s pretty much a masterpiece, standing comparison with the work of the auteurs Ceylan most admires: Bresson, Tarkovsky, Antonioni and Ozu.
