SFFS Presents: 'Once Upon a Time in Anatolia' February 10, 2012

Celebrated Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s masterful police procedural, shot on the Anatolian steppes, depicts a group of law officials riding around the countryside searching for a murder site. Unfortunately for the traveling party, however, the accused can’t remember the exact location. As the caravan stops and starts, conversations reveal other mysteries and several other characters besides the arrested man unburden themselves to others. Though the film references classic westerns and rivals their visual splendors, 'Anatolia' is more deeply concerned with the human condition whether revealed in the group’s reactions to a beautiful woman from the country or a young doctor’s autopsy of the murdered man.
