a round tree. Maybe the murderer wasn't the sadistic one it really was the director playing games with us the audience.. Really an apple rolling down the hill, joining its brothers & sister apples in the creek. This movie is as shallow as the grave that they dug Langy : 20 Jun 2012 3:06:55pm ((Once Upon A Time In Anatolia))[[7]] I am an admirer of Philip Glass and to my surprise when the film ended yesterday I realised that I hadn't taken any notice of the music at any stage. That shows that I was taken in by this film - beautifully shot, finely acted, and from me and other audience members quite a few chuckles - but I am still wondering, what did it all mean? Perhaps just that even with fairly bland people, there is always something else going on below the surface.

Getting to know each of the characters, feeling each of their priorities as they half voice the demand: "What am I doing out here?"--looking for an apparently unfindable body, murdered by an apparently dull peasant who is enigmatic nevertheless. It is true, a comment on the persistence of isolated rural culture/life despite the order, science and ratiuonality that modern policing and medical science brings. One of my movies of the year.
