Synopsis
Three Monkeys (Üç maymun, 2008) is a Turkish psychological drama from director Nuri Bilge Ceylan you can watch online on iFILM. A family of three has an unspoken rule: don't look, don't listen, don't say a word. Small deceptions pile up — and before long, keeping the lie intact matters more than keeping the family together.
The father goes to prison to cover for someone else's crime. While he's gone, his wife and son each try to hold things together in their own way, both hiding it from each other. Ceylan shoots all of this with near-total silence: long static frames, rain-soaked Istanbul streets, glances instead of explanations. The film took the Best Director prize at Cannes in 2008. It's less about what happens than about what it feels like to watch a family quietly come apart. Stream Three Monkeys (2008) online on iFILM.
