Review of Winter Sleep (2014) by Benjamin N — 07 Aug 2015
Reasonably engaging but slow and seemingly interminable.
A man, Aydin (played by Haluk Bilginer) and his wife run a small hotel in a small village in central Anatolia, Turkey. The movie examines the relationships between Aydin and some of the other people in the village, and how these relationships change.
Fairly engaging - you do feel for Aydin in his various predicaments. However, the movie is ponderously slow and, at over three hours, incredibly long. This tests your commitment and engagement, and ultimately the movie is quite dull.
Is it too much to ask to move things along at something other than snail's pace, and to wrap it up quicker?
