Plot

A documentary about the filming session of the film “The Wild Pear Tree” by Nuri Bilge Ceylan… ‘The Wild Pear Tree’ had been shot in about 14 weeks in Western Anatolia.

Sinekatalog’s take

A behind-the-scenes documentary showing how the filmmaker shot a feature across Western Anatolia over weeks. It offers curious insights into his patient working method. Of most value to cinephiles who want to see craft at work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
