- Synopsis:
- 'Clouds of May' tells the story of Muzaffer, an Istanbul filmmaker who returns to his small provincial hometown to make a movie. While professing a desire to capture the essence of village life on film, his obsessive dedication to his art in reality blinds him to the everyday events that really matter to the people who live there. Featuring natural performances from his own parents and Muzzaffer Ozdemir and Mehment Emin Toprak - who would later share acting honours at the Cannes Film Festival for 'Uzak' - Ceylan's semi-autobiographical film is a subtle and sensitive portrait of a rural community.

Familiar faces - Clouds of May review by CH
A film about a film maker whose efforts to capture daily rural life are thwarted by elderly folk, not least his own aged parents reluctance to learn their lines or act for the camera. The hapless repetiteur promptings confuse the directors efforts to micromanage these mischievous elders. A charming film with gentle humour and sadness at a way of life being lost to legislative modernisation.
