Turkey's elegist of existential ennui, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, comes up with his most approachable pic in "Climates," a study of a failed relationship shown largely through the eyes and mind of the middle-aged male partner. 



Immaculately shot and composed as always, and moving at Ceylan's usual measured pace, this one is slightly enlivened by more likable perfs and a trim 98-minute running time. 



Co-produced with French coin, a first for the director, pic will be manna for Ceylan's loyal band of critical admirers, [feted] at serious [fests], but a B.O. dud in most territories.
