Description

Three Monkeys (Üç Maymun, Turkey/France/Italy 2008), a masterful, engrossing film from Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Best Director, Cannes 2008), will open Friday, June 26, 2009.

A man’s agreement to take the fall for his employer’s hit-and-run leads to the dissolution of his family in this quietly heartbreaking film, winner of the Best Director prize at last year’s Cannes Film Festival. The compensation Eyüp (Yavuz Bingol) will receive in exchange for serving a short jail sentence for his politician boss appears to be well worth it. The large sum will seemingly make things easier for his working-class wife and may help his son pass the entrance exam for university. But the deal only drives the three of them further apart.
