Full US Trailer for Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Snowy Drama 'About Dry Grasses'

"A searing, mesmerizing, and unforgettably wintry mood piece." Janus Films + Sideshow have revealed the official US trailer for About Dry Grasses, the latest film from award-winning Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan. This premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, where I wrote a rave review and it ended up winning the Best Actress award. A young teacher is sent to work in a snowy village in East Anatolia. After a long time waiting he loses all hope of escaping from this gloomy life. However, his colleague Nuray helps him to regain perspective. The latest deeply philosophical drama from Ceylan is a work of elegant, novelistic filmmaking, rigorously unpacking questions of belief versus action, the tangible versus the enigmatic, and who we wish to be versus how we live... A remarkable dinner table conversation between Samet and Nuray "ranks with Ceylan's greatest sequences, and Dizdar, who won the Best Actress prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival, commands every second she's on screen." This stars Deniz Celiloglu, Merve Dizdar, and Musab Ekici. It's also Turkey's submission to the next Academy Awards - with a US release in early 2024. // Continue Reading ›
