Award-Winning Turkish Movie Screening: Nuri Bilge Ceylan's "Three Monkeys"

Location

Starting on February 20th Varsity Theatre proudly presents Nuri Bilge Ceylan's "Three Monkeys"

After his critically acclaimed mood pieces "Distant" and "Climates", Turkey's leading filmmaker moves in a more plot-driven direction while retaining his mastery of ambiance and nuance. Winner of the Best Director prize at Cannes, "Three Monkeys" tells a twisty, noirish tale about man's bargain with the devil and the effects that it has on his shiftless son and restless wife.

In the spirit of Bunuel's "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie", Bresson's "L'Argent", and Haneke's "Cache", "Three Monkeys" mounts a caustic critique of the bourgeois family, riddled with hypocrisy yet stubbornly resilient in its seemingly boundless capacity to sidestep guilt and accountability.
