Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Aydin, a former actor, runs a small hotel in central Anatolia with his young wife Nihal with whom he has a stormy relationship and his sister Necla who is suffering from her recent divorce. In winter as the snow begins to fall, the hotel turns into a shelter but also an inescapable place that fuels their animosities…”

Poster: B- / A- / B

Review: (#1) The first design is a bit drab, which fits the setting, but doesn’t entice an audience. (#2) The second is a beautiful drawing of a gorgeous setting with two figures whose happiness is in doubt. (#3) This is a more traditional snowy setting with a figure that is perhaps too large to be situated where he is in relation to the building.

Trailer: B-

Review: Where the drama or intelligence comes from is anyone’s guess. The trailer doesn’t give the audience enough interesting hooks to make the journey of discover worth the effort. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a great film. The trailer just doesn’t do enough to suggest that.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
