Review of Winter Sleep (2014) by Stefano C — 03 Sep 2018

"Winter Sleep" is 196 minutes long, and it felt like 195, and that is because I did not watch all the closing credits. What I mean is that is long, and if feels long to. On top of that, if just like me your turkish is not great, you will have a lot of reading to do.

I know that so far I am not giving you too many reasons to watch it, but this is my point: it is not an easy movie, but despite all this, is a very good work. It felt like a tragic novel (maybe because all the reading I had to do) about men and their inner solitude.

You have to be in the right mood to watch it, but if after 30' you are involved, keep going because it does pays off. A character study,and the character in question is the human being, with its pride and its morals.

I had to watch it in 2 takes, but was well worth it.
