Katy & I really hit the art-film jackpot with this one, since we saw three professors we know at the screening. That’s not gonna happen at “Resident Evil: Extinction” at the mall on a sunday night.<\/p>\n
Gorgeous movie, as advertised. Slow-moving enough that the guy behind us kept yawning\/sighing loudly and the guy in front of us apologized to his friends afterwards and said that they can pick the movie next time.<\/p>\n
Our professors, all pros at picking out symbolism and meaning, talked about the artistry of the shots and the symbolism behind the seasonal changes and architecture.<\/p>\n
Ron Holloway on some random site: “Shot as intersecting episodes against the changing seasons of blistering summer, rainy autumn, and frosty winter, only spring is missing in Climates – although Bahar, the female lead, is the Turkish word for \u201cspring.\u201d A master at probing the loneliness of the soul, Ceylan blends powerful imagery with sparse dialogue in his personal tales of lost chances and fatal decisions.”<\/p>\n
And that’s all there is… sparse dialogue, a minimal character study and seasonal symbolism. A beautiful picture, to be sure, but not enough to keep Katy happy or to make my top-ten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
