Uzak
Nuri Bilge Ceylan / TR, 2002 / 109 min.
Photographer Mahmut can feel his youthful ideals increasingly slipping away. To make matters worse, he also has to share his Istanbul apartment with a younger country cousin in this drily comedic portrait in which tensions rise.
Disillusioned photographer Mahmut lives in Istanbul. He seems incapable of being in relationships with women and life has become a drag. When the unemployed Yusuf from his village comes to stay, Mahmut’s life is unbalanced and tensions rise.

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.
