The sensitive, serene film “About Dry Grasses” is the sixth submission from Nuri Bilge Ceylan to compete for the Best International Feature Oscar, and the 30th from Turkey, which has never received a nomination.
The topical drama tells a few parallel stories concerning a rural schoolteacher who becomes embroiled in a school scandal that also involves his fellow teacher and roommate. Both are entranced by an educator and activist who has become an amputee after a terrorist invasion. TheWrap spoke to Ceylan about his latest epic.
“About Dry Grasses” contains many of your strongest concerns: environment, politics and the depiction of complex relationships punctuated by key silences.
