Traceless past

Once Upon a Time in Anatolia

three horses

The dust burns into a long dragon

It's been raining for a hundred years

who ever stopped

rolling apple

But to rot with the stream

black out

The wind is walking sideways

She lowered candles and teacups

wake up dream

black dog with grey hair

The bark startled a few crows

he has been punished

You who can't get out of your homeland and past

child staring out the window

wipe off the side face

Determined to bury the truth

Side note: Thinking back to SIFF22th in 2019, when I watched "Once Upon a Time in Asia Minor" for the first time, I walked out of the Cao Yang Cinema. On that boulevard, Lao Ma and I were so excited that they couldn't speak incoherently. Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and both the external and the heart are like vicissitudes. When I reunite with this work, I can better understand the pain of everyone in this lament and the sorrow of the other side.

Great momentum, simple but heavy plot. Director Ceylon's ability to transform this headless case from the mouths of various characters into a vivid contemporary group portrait has reached the realm.

The light in the first half of the darkness seemed so powerful, but at the same time it could not reveal the truth of the incident. All the characters in the film are expounding and expressing, whether it is through a lot of dialogue or just a look, but rarely penetrates into their hearts. All these unknowable fragments build this story of Anatolia. Like the dissected corpse at the end of the film, it exists outside the screen but it seems vivid.
