Reviews
`This is a rich, insightful and thought-provoking book which brings new light to Nuri Bilge Ceylan's cinema from a philosophical standpoint. The eloquent and sometimes poetic style of the book charmingly resonates with the tranquil mood of films that it investigates.' - Asuman Suner, ?stanbul Technical University, `Through the lens of sociology and cultural theory, the authors examine the ideas emerging from Ceylan's cinema, offering an in-depth, layered but accessible analysis of his filmmaking. Makes clear why there is such a buzz about Ceylan!' - Ozge Samanci, Northwestern University
