Auteur Nuri Bilge Ceylan returns to top form in a Cannes-prized and stunningly beautiful drama epic about struggling teachers in Anatolia.
Teacher Samet worls at a school in the village that Allah forgot. He's popular among the students but longs for Istanbul. A young student courts him, a love letter falls into the wrong hands, and Samet gets entangled with the school board, the principal, and the faculty. All of this unfolds while a jealousy drama plays out among the teachers who share a house with Samet. About Dry Grasses is possibly the film where Bilge Ceylan (Winter Sleep) has dared to look deepest into the souls of his characters – and it wouldn't be a film by the Turkish master if nature, snow, and cold weren't crucial ingredients. It's a privilege to step into this world for three hours, where nature and the human soul meld into one and the same place.
