If you loved Winter Sleep, try Once Upon a Time in Anatolia

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 Winter Sleep, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Once Upon a Time in Anatolia is

You search for a murder victim with a group of men, but the suspect's vague clues lead to a long night of conversation, and then personal secrets begin to surface, the director framing their stories against the Turkish landscape.
