FILM SHOWN
2 PM, MARCH 24 (SUN.)
About Dry Grasses is from
Turkey (2023), directed by
Nuri Bilge Ceylan. At the

life is his growing friendship
with — and clear attraction
to — Nuray, a teacher from
a nearby school. Politically
engaged and confident,
she’s not afraid to put
the self-absorbed Samet
in his place; one of their
conversations ranks among
Ceylan’s greatest sequences.
