If you loved Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, try Winterschlaf
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, and they both carry the bittersweet, cerebral, foreign gem, outsider, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Winterschlaf is
Strangers on a Train if set in Cappadocia. A wealthy, aging man runs an inn and writes a local newspaper column, though his family and tenants view him with increasing resentment. Ceylan's film is a long but rewarding character study.
