Winner of the prestigious Fipresci Award at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival Climates is internationally acclaimed writer-director Nuri Bilge Ceylan's sublime follow-up to his Cannes multi-award winner ""Distant."" Beautifully drawn and meticulously observed the film vividly recalls the cinema of Italian master Michelangelo Antonioni with its poetic use of landscape and the incisive exquisitely visual rendering of loneliness loss and the often-elusive nature of happiness. During a sweltering summer vacation on the Aegean coast the relationship between middle-aged... professor Isa (played by Ceylan himself) and his younger television producer girlfriend Bahar (the luminous Ebru Ceylan Ceylan's real-life wife) brutally implodes. Back in Istanbul that fall Isa rekindles a torrid affair with a previous lover. But when he learns that Bahar has left the city for a job in the snowy East he follows her there to win her back. Boasting subtly powerful performances heart-stoppingly stunning cinematography (Ceylan's first work in high definition) and densely textured sound design Climates is the Turkish filmmaker's most gorgeous rumination yet on the fragility and complexity of human relationships.

Existentialist Turkish drama about a disparate couple over three seasons of their life together. University lecturer Isa (Nuri Bilge Ceylan) and TV Producer wife Bahar's (Ebru Ceylan) relationship seems dead or dying and yet they stick together, unable to admit what seems inescapable. On their summer holiday they go through the motions but even the fun and sunshine can't throw light on the remains of their turgid relationship. When Bahar returns to Istanbul early due to work, Isa is left in Kas as Autumn is falling. There, he meets an old lover, Serap, (Nazan Kirilmis) making things even more complicated. The final segment shows Isa traveling to the country to visit Bahar at a shoot location to see if there is any chance of saving things.
