If you loved Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, try Winter Sleep
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
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 Winter Sleep 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.
