The Wild Pear Tree
Nuri Bilge Ceylan / TR, MK, FR, DE, BA, BG, SE, 2018 / 188 min.
A young, budding Turkish author – a pompous loner – has to return to his dysfunctional family. How intellectual emancipation can lead to misplaced, hubristic arrogance with regard to a person’s origins.
Four years after winning a Golden Palm for Winter Sleep, Nuri Bilge Ceylan returned to the Cannes film festival with The Wild Pear Tree in which the director uses a philosophy, religion, politics and morality-imbued coming-of-age story to explore his home country, Turkey.

Nuri Bilge Ceylan
Eye Filmmuseum presents the first Dutch exhibition devoted to the work of acclaimed Turkish filmmaker and photographer Nuri Bilge Ceylan. For this occasion, the museum is bringing together his prize-winning films and lesser-known landscape photographs for the very first time. That combination reveals not only Ceylan’s masterly photographic eye and sense of composition, but also the deeply compassionate way he explores universal themes from a Turkish perspective.
