In The Wild Pear Tree, Nuri Bilge Ceylan continues the poetics that brought him the Palme d'Or in 2014 for Winter Sleep. At the heart of the film is once again a screenplay filled with details and long conversations, which Ceylan stages with reverence worthy of the "Turkish Chekhov."

    • Synopsis
    • The protagonist in The Wild Pear Tree is a teaching graduate named Sinan (Aydin Doğu Demirkol), who, before his final exams, returns to his native Çan in northwest Turkey. Like a visitor from a big city, he looks upon the provincial society that he left behind years earlier with a combination of aversion and tolerance. Life in Çan gradually engages him more and more, however, and his dreams of success-and of becoming a writer-turn out to be difficult to achieve. In the saturated colors of the changing seasons (especially the red and gold of autumn), this film portrait of a multigeneration family is permeated with nightmarish visions and philosophical disputes about the Quran. Though seemingly minimalistic, The Wild Pear Tree is a substantial film about rebellious youth that has to come to terms with the legacy of its forefathers.
