Nuri Bilge Ceylan instead of calling this film Climates could have named it Distant II. For this one he acts, writes and directs. To top it off he drags his wife (Ebru Ceylan) in to play his lover.
Isa, a college professor and Bahar, a TV producer are in a relationship where you can easily feel the distance between the two. On a seaside vacation this chasm becomes insurmountable and Bahar returns alone to Istanbul. One really cannot blame Bahar as there is a touch of Abbas Kiarostami like annoyance to Isa. He finds himself wandering this sudden desolate landscape of his life finding himself still reaching for Bahar. A film that highlights the need for connectedness that we crave and will search endlessly for.
