CLIMATES

Perhaps I should've watched Distant last year, I didn't realize that it was by the same director and in all honesty, this film was a bit on the slow and dull side. The basic plot line is a couple goes on vacation, breaks up as the man talks about their differences. The man wanders for a bit in Istanbul, at work, and runs into an ex, has a brief affair of her, and then decides to head to find the girlfriend that he had broken up with, wanting to get back to her. Too long for a film that lasted almost 2 hours with lots of long shots (time), although a few of them were beautiful, maybe more music would've helped. Favorite part of the film? The smuggled "music box" he buys for her.
