Synopsis: The most internationally acclaimed Turkish film of recent years is the bittersweet tale of the encounter between melancholic and obsessive middle-aged photographer Mahmut and his unemployed country boy cousin Yusuf, who has come to Istanbul to find a job on a ship. Sometimes comic, sometimes sad, but always visually beautiful Uzak offers great insight into its themes of friendship and loneliness and features wonderful performances from Muzaffer Ozdemir as Mahmut and the late Mehmet Emin Toprak as Yusuf. 110 minutes, Cert. 15
