The director of ‘Uzak’ and ‘Climates’, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, has established himself as one of the new masters of cinema. With this noir drama he extends his range to a new genre, and won the Best Director prize in Cannes 2008. Eyüp takes the blame for his politician boss, Servet, after a hit and run accident. In return, he accepts a pay-off, believing it will make life for his wife Hacer and teenage son more secure. Wanting to help her son, Hacer approaches Servet for an advance, but soon gets involved with him. When Eyüp returns from prison the tension between the four reaches a climax.

One of the most exciting film-makers around right now…I didn’t want this masterly film to end
Edward Lawrenson The Big Issue
A film of formidable power that sticks in the mind - read the full review
Philip French The Observer
In terms of intelligence and cinematic invention, this tantalizing film carries a thrill entirely its own
Jonathan Romney Independent on Sunday - read the full review
A tantalising, gorgeous-looking film, brooding with mysteries... The clarity and composition of cinematographer Gökhan Tiryaki’s framings are extraordinary. So is the sound design which drips with tension. The performances are uniformly excellent...A fascinating film that, once seen, is hard to dislodge from your imagination.

Nuri Bilge Ceylan is one of the great masters of arthouse cinema, and his latest film is an intriguing and beautiful noir drama...this is arresting cinema...An engrossing work, it looks wonderful and every frame is dense with intelligence...The rigour and intensity of Three Monkeys is invigorating – it is nourishing in a way few other films are.
Peter Bradshaw The Guardian
This hypnotic Turkish thriller...no less unconventional or remarkable (as Uzak and Climates)...

‘This confirms Ceylan’s status as one of the few, new, great names that have emerged in the last decade. It is also a renewal of his talent in the noir genre.’
