FILM NURI BILGE CEYLAN Once Upon a Time in Anatolia [2011]

Glowing wonder of an Anatolian epiphany

Nigel Andrews, FT, 15 March 2012


Came across this review looking for another film, In Darkness, by Agnieszka Holland which I saw on t.v. last week. There are 2 posts in COTA on Anatolia already, listing reviews.

This review is part of a review of 4 films. But felt it was worth putting up for those who have seen it and liked it. That thing about the right words in the right order. Beautifully expressed in 5 paras.

Another for the collection

FILM DON SPIEGAL The Lineup [1958]

Not Noir, but Pretty Dark


A post in blog Journey to Perplexity (I feel a Waste Land Quote coming on…) which is not primarily a film site.

As usual a hesitation – read a detailed exposition of a film or hold it in abeyance till after watching it. Luckily, it’s on YouTube. It is included in a DVD compilation, Film Noir Classics 1.


A Rotten Tomatoes teaser:

WRITER, ARTIST, FILMMAKER Harun Farocki, 1944 – 2014

Never heard of Harun Farocki? Stop. Relax. Don’t Do it. When you want go to Google. Watch these two films first.


Inextinguishable Fire – Harun Farocki, 1969


What Farocki Taught (1998) – A film by Jill Godmillow


Now you don’t need to Google because I’ve provided a few links to help you learn about him:


Harun Farocki, 1944 – 2014


Harun Farocki on the web and in London
– 2009 post in Film Studies from Free. Compendious set of links. She recommends Introduction to Farocki, Senses of Cinema, 2002.


Right, who is going to be first to knowingly do a Rumsfeld for Farocki?
