STILL FROM ABOUT DRY GRASSES
ABOUT DRY GRASSES (Nuri Bilge Ceylan)
An "absorbing, Chekhovian drama of a teacher-pupil crisis" says the GUARDIAN, giving this challenging 3 hour 17 minute potentially controversial Competition film by the notable Turkish director four stars. "Nuri Bilge Ceylan Paints the Minutiae of Misanthropy on a Vast, Ravishing Canvas" says Guy Lodge in Variety. The subject is an ethically bankrupt rural high school art teacher, a "a cynical, manipulative monster" (Lee Marshall, ScreenDaily) accused (justifiably) of sexual predation of a girl student. It's said that this may be an even harder to take film from this hard to take filmmaker, but as, I guess, a fan, this sounds absolutely fascinating - and highly relevant to this post-#MeTo world.
