About Dry Grasses (2023) - Nuri Bilge Ceylan (MOVIE REVIEW)

[@rogerbell8429]

I can recommend Once Upon a Time in Anatolia another of Ceylan's films. Another long one!! Samet, the main character in About Dry Grasses was fascinating. My favourite scene was the dinner scene with Samet and Nuray, a local woman he has got to know, where she questions him about his philosophy of life. His own philosophy is negative and self-centred - look after number one - don't help anyone - whereas her philosophy is much more socially caring. This film dealt with important issues about how we live our lives and deserves everyone's attention.

Yes once upon a time in Anatolia is now on my list. Thanks for the recommendation. I agree that your favourite scene was really powerful.
