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.
