The director of Uzak and Three Monkeys, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, has established himself as one of the new masters of cinema. With his new film Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, he offers us an epic and rigorous tale of a night and day in a murder investigation. Once Upon a Time in Anatolia is a beautifully photographed crime drama about police and prosecutors grimly locating a buried body through one long night in the Anatolian steppes. As the corpse is exhumed, many long-buried thoughts and fears are disinterred in the minds of the hard-bitten lawmen.
