Three Monkeys
I’m sad. I didn’t get a ticket to see Nuri Bilge Ceylan‘s film “Three Monkeys” at the Toronto Film Festival. They were all sold out. I had to work when the tickets went on sale to the public. I got to the box office almost three hours later. I went to Craigslist and a ticket scalper was selling two tickets but he or she must have found someone willing to pay more.
I’m still searching. I asked the Vice President of my department (because he’s interested in film) if he knew of anyone who could get me a ticket. He’s looking. A guy at work who is a fan of film and the Toronto Film Festival is going to see another film on the same day, at the same theatre this film is playing and he is offered to try and find me tickets at the box office. I can only hope…
Instead, I bought tickets to two other films, another Turkish film called “Pandora’s Box” and a Spanish film called “Return to Hansala“. I’m sad about missing Mr. Ceylan’s movie. Perhaps, he would have been at the showing of his film and discussed his film and answered questions. I will miss the opportunity, the chance. I guess I will have to wait for the cinema release of the movie or else the DVD. But if any of my readers know of some extra tickets hanging around somewhere, please email me at imagineistanbul@yahoo.com or leave a comment. I will be grateful forever.
Add these films by Nuri Bilge Ceylan to your DVD collection.
