The TVI Take

2014 Palme d'Or winner. Nuri Bilge Ceylan's three-hour chamber drama about a retired actor running a hotel in Cappadocia.

Exceptional cognitive demands from the Chekhovian dialogue and moral self-examination. Educational value from the Turkish social landscape and philosophical depth. Among the great character studies in cinema.
