1 out of 5 stars Incredibly dull!!.......2008-01-20

Forced myself to sit through it as I had paid for rental. Second rate acting and so ...slow!!

4 out of 5 stars Slow but intelligent with great depth.......2007-11-07

It's one of those great films done in a way that reminds you what is "none Hollywood".Real people,real story,real places,real life...In addition written,directed & acted quite intelligently.Not dialog heavy & done in a subtle way so that you enjoy reading between the lines,decoding the expressions.Therefore it gives the pleasure of reading as oppose to watching.On the other hand with the same reasons it's a bit too slow may be time to time.Having said that it does engage you quite successfully.

4 out of 5 stars a disintegrating relationship.......2007-11-03

It is summer in Anatolia and the couple [man and wife in real life] are becoming bored with each other. They decide to separate. In autumn he returns to his job as university lecturer and embarks on a loveless affair. In winter snow the two meet again and an attempted reconciliation ends in failure.
The long slow takes reinforce the mood of ennui, but some are extended too far. As in Uzak, Ceylan is concerned with the unspoken emotions beneath the suface and dialogue is sparse and sometimes deliberately banal
It is not easy to make an interesting film about boredom nor for a director to star in his own film but Ceylan makes a creditable job of both.

4 out of 5 stars Breaking Up and Making Up.......2007-07-22

"Climates" is a worthy follow up to the memorable "Uzak" by Turkish director and actor Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Ceylan plays the leading role in "Climates" alongside his real life wife Ebru Ceylan. They play an Istanbul couple whose relationship is slowly breaking up and this drama unfolds over three seasons each with very different climates, hence the title of the film. "Climates" starts off in the summer by the Turkish coast, moves to a rainy Istanbul before concluding in blizzard like conditions in a wintery rural location. The film is slow moving and is full of poignant scenes as it follows the life of Nuri Bilge Ceylan's character over the course of the break up ; from wanting rid of his girlfriend, to discovering the loneliness of the single life to trying to win her back again.The film is mesmerising at times and it is gripping throughout. The acting and direction of "Climates" is excellent as well. This film makes for a refreshing antidote to the deluge of dumbed down Hollywood trash that is on offer in the cinemas at the moment. It is an intelligent, well observed film from a talented director.

5 out of 5 stars a slow intimate journey through one couple's break up.......2007-05-02

Climates is a gorgeous film, following a couple as their relationship breaks down. The story is told with little dialogue, relying instead on slow, intimate portraits of the characters' faces and behaviour, allowing you to read the thoughts and feelings with incredible grace. The climate of Turkey highlights the feelings of the characters, and it's a wonderfully observed film about people and how they cope with breaking up.
