Nuri Bilge Ceylan, fotoğrafçılıktan geçtiği sinemaya aktif olarak 1990'ların ikinci yarısında başladı. Kasabası Yenice'de çektiği ve annesiyle babasını başrolde oynattığı kısa film Koza (1995), festivalleri dolaştı ve Ceylan'ın adının duyulmasını sağladı. Genç yönetmenini ileride tanımlayacak özellikleri sergileyen sade, ağır temposuna rağmen çarpıcı, ustaişi görüntüleri olan bir auteur filmiydi. Türk sinemasında ticari sinemaya alternatif oluşturan görüşün başlıca temsilcilerinden biri, seyirci karşısına ilk kez bu filmle çıktı. Daha sonra da, Koza'nın devamı sayılabilecek taşra üçlemesi geldi: Yine Yenice'yi mekân edinmiş siyah/beyaz Kasaba (1997), renkliye ilk kez geçtiği Mayıs Sıkıntısı (1999) ve taşralı çocukları İstanbul'a taşıyan Uzak (2002). Ceylan ilk dört filminin hem yönetmenliğini hem senaristliğini hem de yapımcılığını üstlendi. Dördüncü filmi Uzak, sayısız ödülün yanı sıra 2003'teki 56. Cannes Film Festivali'nde Jüri Özel Ödülü'nü aldı. İki oyuncusu da, En İyi Erkek Oyuncu ödülünü paylaştı. Ceylan bu filmin ardından taşrayı bırakarak, ona Cannes'da FİPRESCİ getiren İklimler'i çekti. Mutluluğu arayan bir çift üzerine kurulu 2006 yapımı filmde, Nuri Bilge ve karısı Ebru Ceylan başrolleri üstlendi. Ancak, Bilge'nin Cannes macerası henüz sona ermemişti. 2008 tarihli filmi Üç Maymun ile En İyi Yönetmen Ödülü'nü aldı. NTV Yayınları, Nuri Bilge Ceylan'ın ödül almış ilk üç uzun metrajlı filminin DVD'si ile birlikte, kısa filmi Koza'nın ve kamera arkası görüntülerinin yer aldığı dördüncü bir DVD'yi sunuyor. Box-sette ayrıca yönetmenin bu dört filmi üzerine makaleler ve söyleşilerin bulunduğu bir kitapçık da var. Kasaba / The Small Town, (1997) Strikingly original, vibrantly sensitive... - Variety Nuri Bilge Ceylan is clearly a huge talent... - Sight & Sound A depiction of a small Turkish town, as seen from the perspective of an 11 year-old girl and her 7 year-old brother. The four-part film unfolds along with the seasons. The first part is set at the school the girl attends, the social environment she must adapt to and its difficulties. She is forcefully introduced to feelings of shame and some merciless aspects of life. The second part is in spring. We see the girl with her brother and their journey to the maize field where their family are waiting for them. As they pass through the countryside, they encounter the mysteries of nature and wildlife. The childhood cruelty of the spring scenes flows into a summer evening when the children with their parents, grandparents and a cousin are roasting maize by a fire. Here the brother and sister witness the complexities and darkness of the adult world. The adults' conversation, that is about war, death, poverty, hunger, work and reputation, reveal all kinds of things about the family. The fourth part takes place at home. This is a tranquil sequence moving between reality and dream. The Small Town is an extremely personal film, like stylized poetry, beautifully shot with amateur actors. Shown in Black and White, it was made on a low budget. The script is based on an autobiographical story by his sister and was shot in a village in Anatolia where he spent his childhood. Mayıs Sıkıntısı / Clouds of May (1999) A young filmmaker, Muzaffer, returns to the small Anatolian village where he grew up, resolved to capture something of its idyllic charm on film. His father, Emin, has no time for such games - he is desperately trying to save the plot of land adjoining his own from being clear-cut. Undaunted, Muzaffer set about recruiting family and friends to work on his film, including his young rapscallion of a nephew, Ali, and Saffet, who has just failed his university exams. The profundity of Ceylan's work stems from his uncomprimising fidelity to the spirit of filmmaking, as well the obvious love he shows for his family. His camera tenderly caresses the landspace as one would a lover's face, moving in slow, deliberate gestures, trying to remember it as it was so as never to forget it. Ceylan, in addition to directing and writing, also shot and designed this character-driven piece, exploring faces, and, thus, hearts. The kaleidoscope of images he captures - a child's smile, and old woman's still beautiful face, palpable heat over a meadow- form the basis of a fascinating meditation about generation conflicts, social changes, loss of innocence and the meaning of life, no less, while the camera follows leaves dancing in the summer wind. Uzak / Distant, (2002) 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.
