- Arthouse Tuesday continues with our review of "About Dry Grasses." Turkish director and co-writer Nuri Bilge Ceylan offers a beautifully shot, understated epic about a smug art teacher in a remote village (Deniz Celiloglu) who's accused of inappropriate conduct by a couple of his pet students. As the situation develops, he struggles to escape not just this school but himself. Co-starring Merve Dizdar, who won the best-actress award at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. In theaters now.

As long time viewer since the WTF?! days I'm so happy you guys reviewed this film and liked it. In my opinion Nuri Bilge Ceylan is neck and neck with Jonathan Glazer for the best director currently working (I know Scorsese is still around, but hes been around forever) and About Dry Grasses is his best work. My favorite film of last year by a huge margin. I'm so enthusiastic about it and I've been thinking about it all the time. Everything NBC does is solid gold. Like reading a really dense Russian novel in one sititng.
Alonso, if you want to see more Ceylan I recommend starting with Winter Sleep, his 2nd best behind this one. After that, The Wild Pear Tree and Distant. I'm sure Dave his his own opinion on this too.
That is excellent perspective on this movie. Thanks for your enthusiasm and for sticking with us for so long!
Hi this is TR audience who has watched you guys since what the flick with tyt & matt. You should check out Wild Pear Tree it has one of the best endings. It is better film than this and Winter Sleep. Especially, would like to know what Christy thinks. @@BreakfastAllDay
Once Upon a Time in Anatolia is a masterpiece. Winter Sleep and Three Monkeys are both great.
Definitely a highlight of Cannes and 2023 as a whole. Ceylan never disappoints!
I actually met the little girl Ece Bağci the day after the premiere-she sat next to me during a Zone of Interest screening-so it was nice to possibly be the first member of the public to recognize her from a movie and tell her she was great in it. Promising talent, I hope to see more from her!
She was terrific! Presence beyond her years and experience.
The Wild Pear Tree changed my life. It’s such a powerful film.
Good to know, thank you!
Wow! You guys covered Nuri Bilge Ceylan! Awesome, kind of love ALL his films and his film craft. My respect and love for Christy and Alonso keeps growing everyday! Awesome👌!!
I can't wait. Loved Once Upon a Time in Anatolia and Winter Sleep. Really liked Three Monkeys..
Let us know what you think!
I’ve been dying to see this one, and I knew y’all would be the ones to review it!
We are here for you!
wooooow i am from turkey and i am folllowing you since the "what the flick" days and i couldn't believe my eyes when i see this
That's awesome! Have you seen this yet?
@@BreakfastAllDay shame on me but not
O ye of little faith, TH-cam is full of thousands of Turkish camping videos. There is room for a Turkish movie review. Breakfast All Day and some Turkish coffee.
You got it!
Ceylan is a director who was "ruined" me for other directors. He is so involved and the emotion runs so deep, that other directors have trouble reaching it in my opinion ha. Once Upon a Time in Anatolia is another spin on the detective movie that is totally unique
Love Ceylan's movies, Winters Sleep is one of my Favorite movies of all time. But, how do I watch this?? Can't find it anywhere
I’ll be on the lookout for it.
Anatolia remains his best film from this later period and quite possibly his greatest all around though Kasaba and Clouds of May are right there too.
You two awesome folks really made me want to see this now. Going to seek it out!
Yes please do!
While I was about to ask you about if you can review the movie of Nuri Bilge Ceylan, I came across this review. About dry grasses is currently showing on Netflix in Türkiye. I say this as someone who has watched all his movies this movie is very good, but it's not the director's best movie. I really like your reviews so thank you for reviewing this film. Greetings from Turkey.
Winter Sleep is amazing too
We will check it out, thank you!
Loved it and love Ceylan - who is one of the best directors working today. The film was one of my favorites of last year when i saw it at TIFF. My only criticism would be a decision made near the end (i think you know what I mean...). Without getting into spoilers, if there is one filmmaker alive who should NOT make that choice it is Ceylan. He is so good at immersing you in a rich sense of place, with gorgeous landscape photography and contrasts between vast and cramped settings, that the decision he makes seems an odd fit. Takes you out of it for a moment.
Nevertheless, a bold choice worth thinking about. And a great film.
It was indeed a bold move, had to rewatch that part to figure out: Wait a minute, what just happened? Thanks for your thoughts!
Something that will go unnoticed for foreign audiences is how real everything feels and looks in this film. This film took me to my primary school days and put me in the classroom with those students. It brought back memories and feelings from my childhood days that I had long forgotten. NBC has always been meticulous about authenticity, but I think he has outdone himself in this one. I've never seen anything quite like it. It was incredible.
Thank you so much for that insight, that's so interesting! Glad you loved it.
I really appreciate that you guys take time to review some of the lesser-known international/indie films.
Thanks for the encouragement! We will always review these kinds of films here.
Hey Alonso, you were quoted by Broey Deschanel in her latest video! About Saltburn.
today released on netflix
Also, will you two redo your 2023 best of list since so many of these new forignen movies got 9's or above? Or maybe even a best Foreign movies ilof last year. Id be curious to see where this, Monster, and a couple others now place
What would I do without you two? Lol. You make the day more tolerable😂
Merve Dizdar has that movie star look I enjoy. I can not watch Larry David for more than 10 minutes.
I liked this movie, but I couldn't understand the ending.
i reccomend "once upon an time in anatolia" by Ceylan . it' shows anatolia as a silent, giant entity which surrounds our characters in the movie and shows them it's different faces while they are on a journey to find a body of a murdered man. they are like small things having a journey on this sleeping giant
Thank you for the recommendation!
Loved the film 🎥! Rich as a novel indeed .You guys should review his other films as well
Do watch Winter Sleep from 10 years ago, another masterpiece from Nuri Bilge Ceylan.
Thank you for the suggestion!
Wow, highest scores combined o/t year, too bad for me it is so very hard for me to get in the mood for a subtitled movie.
Give them a shot.
❤ Arthouse Tuesdays
We'll keep doing them!
So the character is abit like Giamatti's character in first half of The Holdovers.
Hmm, maybe a little. His general annoyance with his surroundings is more of a slow burn.
Oh Alonso, you're in for a treat if u now go back and watch hus earlier films lik winter sleep and once upon a time in Anatolia
I haven't heard of this movie.
Well now you have!
Now time to wait 6 months before it becomes available.
Coffee in Eastern Turkey? It’s never going to happen. Tea is inseparable from their lives. But I love the segueway 😂
Ha, we aim to entertain.
Thank you guys for the wonderful review. Really loved it. Just a minor feedback that the Turkish C is not pronounced like the English C. Instead, it's pronounced like the “j” in “jungle", So the director name will be "Nuri Bilge Jeylan".
