Ceylan begins with a short film, revisits its location and, possibly, characters in his second film, and references the shooting in his third film.
Ceylan's quiet observation of the children's behaviors as they ostensibly recite their studies is masterful.

 Nuri Bilge Ceylan
Nuri Bilge Ceylan creates a luminous, sensual, affectionate, and understatedly moving pastoral symphony of family, nature, and life's interminably evolving cycle in Clouds of May.
From the allusive opening sequence of Yusuf's unhurried ascent onto a hillside road captured from the static camera, Nuri Bilge Ceylan creates a meditative - and refreshingly self-effacing - composition of distilled, concentrated imagery, narrative economy, and reverent paean to deliberately paced cinema.
Ceylan's allusions to Andrei Tarkovsky (both directly through a conversation with friends, and indirectly, through excerpts of Stalker and Mirror on television) serve to illustrate Mahmut's innate understanding of the need (though not necessarily the willingness) for artistic and personal compromise.

 Nuri Bilge Ceylan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nuri Bilge Ceylan (born 1959 in Istanbul) is a Turkish film director.
After graduating from Bogazici University with a BSc degree in Electrical Engineering, he went on with his studies on cinema for two years.
More specifically, the characters in Ceylan's movies appear to be people from our everyday life and the audience can form a warm and friendly relationship with the actors, which appears to be a much more difficult task for professional actors.

 Nuri Bilge Ceylan interview - The TOMB movie news - Time Out Film
Nuri Bilge Ceylan has just four features and a short to his name, but the young-ish Turk is one of the most rewarding filmmakers working today.
It's as if Mehmet Emin Toprak (who was indeed Ceylan's cousin and who died, tragically, in a car accident shortly after 'Uzak' was completed) takes on near-archetypal status, representing all those cousins left behind to get bored with smalltown life and who, when they eventually get to the city, don't fit in well anyway.
Ceylan takes this to an extreme, casting family and friends, using tiny crews of a mere handful of people, and producing, writing, shooting, directing, editing and even selling his films himself.

 Everyday Existentialism: The Next Director: Nuri Bilge Ceylan | PopMatters Film Feature
Turkish auteur Nuri Bilge Ceylan's films are both a little grounded and a little weightless.
Ceylan's most recent film, Distant, won the Grand Prix and Best Actor awards at Cannes, and displays an incredibly confident aesthetic rare in such a relatively young filmmaker (Ceylan is 44).
Ceylan has said that with Distant he wished to make a film about the futility of life -- a grand gesture, to be sure, and one that might typically sound impossible.

Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Distant is a lugubriously paced reflection on modern urban life.
Ceylan captures his story in bleakly beautiful images and portraits of the two struggling main characters that convey tremendous sadness, despite an underlying dry wit (as demonstrated in the bits of business involving efforts to trap a mouse that plagues Mahmut's Muzaffer zdemir apartment) and restraint that keeps the film from becoming maudlin.
Ceylan allows the characters room to breathe within the forbidding setting, whether it's Mahmut's anally tidy apartment or the frozen streets of Istanbul.

 'Distant' - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan's film is a moving tale of modern society, told with great artistry.
Ceylan has an exact sense of what he wants to do and how he wants to do it.
Perhaps because of the close-knit quality of his filmmaking style, his actors never lose their naturalness, to the point where it's easy to forget they are acting at all.

 A Blanket of Loneliness Covers Istanbul; Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Small Masterpiece "Distant"
When I first saw Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan's "Uzak" (Distant) at Cannes last year, where it was part of the competition, I didn't like it at all.
Ceylan relies on visual juxtaposition not only for laughs, but also for narrative exposition, character development, and theme, and if you don't pay ultra-close attention you're bound to miss a crucial connection or clue.
A lovely yet deadening snowfall is brilliantly exploited for its thematic power, and the director is secure enough in his artistry to let pictorial composition speak on its own (his acute photographic sense leads one to believe that the photographer Mahmut is his stand-in), without gumming up the works with lots of forced close-ups.

 Climates | The A.V. Club
Turkey's Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Distant) is one of those rare directors who make three-dimensional movies without the help of special effects.
Casting himself in the lead role, Ceylan stars as a grim-faced college professor whose coarse, insensitive nature has led to the slow deterioration of his relationship with his spouse, played by Ceylan's real-life wife Ebru.
Whether Ceylan's decision to cast himself and his wife could be considered self-portraiture remains unclear, but the film is unsparing in its appraisal of masculine hang-ups and emotional brutality.

 Slant Magazine - Film Review: Climates
Ceylan makes some of the best-looking bad movies around, all off-kilter compositions and vivid landscape photography, populated by characters who aimlessly wander the magical land of ennui in search of the next interminably pregnant conversational pause.
Ceylan is too much a secular prisoner of his influences, a fact he cops to in Distant's best scene where the sell-out photographer Mahmut (Muzaffer Özdemir) toggles his television between Tarkovsky's Stalker and lesbian porn.
There's a huff n' puff sex scene herein that must be seen to be believed, all revolving around Ceylan's self-centered professor character Isa, his stiletto-heel clad mistress Serap (Nazan Kesal), and a stray nut (of the completely edible type) evasively rolling along the floor.

Isa (Nuri Bilge Ceylan) a self-centered college professor and his young girlfriend [or is it wife?] Bahar (Ebru Ceylan) is a TV producer, who are vacationing in the sunny climate of the Mediterranean coast, when they break up.
I wouldn't have given away the spoiler, but dammit, this is one of the more boring movies of the year and I don't want anyone out there who's actually READING this to waste their money on a paper thin melodrama that has no one we could really identify with or want to.

 Film-Forward Review: [CLIMATES]
Oblivious to the landscape, Bahar’s attention is fixed on Isa (played by the film’s director, Nuri Bilge Ceylan).
With her unflinching intensity and emotional volatility, actress Ebru Ceylan may be a Turkish answer to Isabelle Huppert.
Despite the setting (which will later move to the Mediterranean resort Kas), the viewer is not merely an armchair traveler, but an off-the-court referee.

 Uzak Distant review - movie review of the Nuri Bilge Ceylan film starring Zuhal Gencer Erkaya
Distant, the third film by Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan, who in addition wrote the script and was in charge of editing, draws a bitter portrait of a country struck by crisis.
From the first sequence, what is striking about Ceylan's filming is time and discretion.
In front of so much of resignation, of will to face the pain without saying a word, Ceylan shows a violent, indifferent nature without pity: the waves striking the quay.

 Variety's Festivals & Markets - Climates
By Helmer Nuri Bilge Ceylan studies failed relationships in 'Climates,' staring his wife, Ebru Ceylan.
Turkey's elegist of existential ennui, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, comes up with his most approachable pic in "Climates," a study of a failed relationship shown largely through the eyes and mind of the middle-aged male partner.
Immaculately shot and composed as always, and moving at Ceylan's usual measured pace, this one is slightly enlivened by more likable perfs and a trim 98-minute running time.

 Climates | movies : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
Climates begins in the summer warmth of western Turkey and ends in the wintry snow of the east — the shift is as metaphorical as it is meteorological in Nuri Bilge Ceylan's exquisitely structured, pitiless study of a middle-aged man trapped in a stagnant emotional weather pattern.
In his rejection of his younger girlfriend (Ebru Ceylan, the filmmaker's wife), Isa (Ceylan himself) is a close cousin of the dour loners in the director's previous film, Distant.
But a rough sex scene between Isa and a sometime lover, shot in one long take and featuring a stray hazelnut, hints at a sense of humor about relationships as nutty as it is deadpan.
