Over the next two weeks we will be concentrating on Turkish Cinema, starting with Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Uzak (Distant) from the year 2002.
The story is based around 40 year old photographer Mahmut who lives in Istanbul and falls into an existential crisis after his wife leaves him. Soon after, his cousin Yusuf also comes to live in Istanbul and the contrast between the two is immediately evident. While Mahmut is adjusted to life in the big city, Yusuf is a lonely and eccentric country worker.
Free admission and popcorn as usual. Encounters With The Obscure is looking forward to seeing you.
