Ahlat Agaci

(The Wild Pear Tree)

(Nuri Bilge Ceylan, 2018)

Following a similar formula to his Palme D'Or winning Winter Sleep, Ceylan returns with another blend of the intimate and the epic, almost more novel like in approach than cinematic. A small character driven story with a handful of characters told over 3 hours, driven along by long conversational scenes. If you found that previous effort a chore then you may feel the same about this, but if you enjoyed luxuriating in the experience that movie provided then this one with its sleepy rural Turkish climes replicates a lot of that same charm.

It's a less bombastic movie in a lot of ways, less of the conversations turn into full blown arguments, though a dysfunctional family once again drives the movie along, the troublesome father played with brilliantly sort of intense but totally low key energy by the wonderful Murat Cemcir providing many of the movies highlights in his verbal sparring sessions with his son returning home from studying to the town he already thought he had escaped. In said role, the central one in the movie, Dogu Demirkol is terrific. This is no dime a dozen lead character, just as with Winter Sleep there are plenty of pretty monstrous qualities lurking beneath the surface of the movies primary player, proving a dream for any actor to play. Demirkol brilliantly embodies Sinan's frustrations as they evolve across the course of the movie from a more simple frustration with the return home, and desire to make it big, blossoming from this small world, into greater frustrations as a lack of success in his endeavours proves tough to come by, and he begins to take it out more openly on those around him.

The movie is almost entirely his, with the aforementioned Cemcir getting the only other really interesting, significant role, though in isolation Hazar Erguclu and Serkan Keskin also help provide some of the movies strongest moments in their scenes. The former stoking the heart, providing the movie with its most sensual and probably heartstring tugging moments, the former stoking the brain, and bringing to passionate life the intellectual musings of the movie.

That latter scene might be the best moment in The Wild Pear Tree, as Demirkol's Sirnan dons a mask of civility as he goes toe to toe with an already established and successful author. The scene is like one of those from a novel where narrative proceedings sort of grind to a halt as through his characters the author muses on more complex thematic concerns in more straightforward conversational manner. Beyond that deeper exploration the scene works in more indirect ways as an examination of the frustrations of Sirnan, as he plays a character, attempting to pull a veil over his true feelings, but being found out as the argument proceeds. It's a brilliantly, multi layered scene that explores ideas and evolves understanding of character.

There are other such asides, most notably one late on that seems to fit less comfortably into proceedings with two Imams, musing on belief, morality, and truth, but the majority of the movies best scenes for me are the familial ones between father and son, son and mother, also strongly played (but less interestingly written) by Bennu Yildirimlar.

This fact, that the familial sequences are the real driving force of the movie leads to my main issue with the film. The best stuff in Ceylan's latest is tremendous, and the heart and soul of what he's exploring, what he’s getting at is certainly not subtle, but very effectively dealt with. It just seems to me that it goes on a little too long, and there is stuff in here less essential to the heart and soul of the movie really working. A key difference that I noticed between this and Winter Sleep was that the scenes in that movie felt longer, there were fewer, longer sequences, it was a lot like a play in that way, where as this one generally features (comparatively) shorter scenes with the few already touched on exceptions, and so given it follows that generally more traditional structure it is easier to see how it could have been trimmed of the excess and whittled down to the essentials. It's another aspect of the film that calls to mind literature rather than film, it reminds me of all the people that read Les Miserables who didn’t want to read essays on the Paris sewer system or the battle of Waterloo, here too I feel like Ceylan could have excised some of what he has on his hands here without losing the core of the story, the exploration of guilt, and the generation to generation evolution of familial relations.

That's ultimately what is most important here, beyond religion, and literature, and the desire to make it big, it is a family story, a sort of coming of age tale dealing less with the escape from adolescence, rather the more bitter blossoming of less tasteful fruit as the realities of true adulthood replace more youthful, idealistic dreams.

Any fc suggestions for Blackthorn and Pine? (preferably woc)

For sure! For Blackthorn there’s a handful in their tag already, but I could also see Rosario Dawson, Anya Chalotra, Li Jun Li, Im Jinah, Alisha Wainwright, Angela Sarafyan, Hazar Erguclu, Freema Agyeman, Alia Shawkat, Elodie Yung, Ruth Negga, Samira Wiley, Sofia Boutella, Thandie Newton, and Zoe Saldana.

Pine has some too, but I think Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Adeline Rudolph, Tati Gabrielle, Amber Midthunder, Devery Jacobs, Han Hyo Joo, Brittany O’Grady, Samantha Logan, Neelam Gill, Aiysha Hart, Brianne Tju, Brianna Hildebrand, Kiana Lede, or Vanessa Morgan would also be great options!
