Capone's Art-House Round-Up with THREE MONKEYS and the Eddie Adams doc AN UNLIKELY WEAPON!!!
Ain't it Cool News (Free subscription) | 17/07/2009
In truth, this was a family that wasn't doing too well before Bingol decided to lie for his boss, but when the son finds out about the affair and attempts to keep it from his father upon his release, all hell breaks loose. It sounds like the making of a great family film crossed with a noirish betrayal story, but everything in THREE MONKEYS (starting with its title, which I assume refers to Hear No...

DVD: Three Monkeys, Retail & rental, (New Wave Film)
The Independent (Free subscription) | 05/07/2009
A politician bribes his driver to take the fall for a hit'n'run; then conducts an affair with the dupe's wife while he's in chokey; then decides he wants nothing more to do with her. End result: no one's happy in Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan's drama that netted him Best Director at Cannes. No one? No, not even viewers – too many seemingly endless scenes of staring into darkness take the...

DVD Video Review: Nuri Bilge Ceylan leaves behind the moody melancholy of his previous work for a tense thriller that nevertheless still retains his signature themes and marvellous cinematography.

With 2009 almost half way over, I've been looking back on the first half of the year at the films that I feel are the best. While it is too early to pass judgment on the year as a whole, but there have been quite a few excellent films, many of which have been overlooked.Here are the 10 films that have been released so far in 2009 (or will be by the end of June) that have resonated with me the most,...

Three Monkeys
Flavorpill San Francisco Events (Free subscription) | 26/06/2009
June 26 – July 2 Daily @ Sundance Kabuki Cinema Visual catchphrases borrowed from Lynch, Bergman, and Billy Wilder get a thoroughly modern treatment in the Turkish noir Three Monkeys , a terse family drama framed by a hazy gloom that sticks to each character like a bad curse. A series of deep (literally and figuratively), disorienting, and ominously radiant shots depict a politician's vehicular...

Miami Herald (Free subscription) | 18/06/2009
Turkey's Nuri Bilge Ceylan won the best director prize at Cannes last year for this tense, poetic neonoir. A politician kills a pedestrian in a hit-and-run accident. He bribes his chauffeur to take the rap, and the man goes to prison for a year. The driver hopes this pact with the devil will benefit his overworked wife and his teenage son, who is running with a rough crowd.
