A family dislocated when small failings blow up into extravagant lies battles against the odds to stay together by covering up the truth... In order to avoid hardship and responsibilities that would otherwise be impossible to endure, the family chooses to ignore the truth, not to see, hear or talk about it. But does playing “Three Monkeys” invalidate the truth of its existence?

«Der türkische Regisseur Nuri Bilge Ceylan ist der Tiefenforscher und Stilist unter den Realisten. “Three Monkeys” lotet zwischenmenschliche Irritationen mit den Mitteln der Filmkunst aus. Ein, vor allem in ästhetischer Hinsicht, betörender und verstörender Film.» Nahaufnahmen
«Nach Distant (2002) und Climates (2005) legt der türkische Regisseur Nuri Bilge Ceylon mit seinem neuen Film eine weitere seismographisch genaue und schmerzhafte Analyse privater Beziehungen und gesellschaftlicher Verhältnisse vor, diesmal jedoch dunkler und aussichtsloser und von nahezu Dostojewski’scher Gewalt. Dass es kein Happy End gibt, geht fast im Donner und Gewitterregen über der Stadt unter in diesem grossartigen Fels von einem Film.» Viennale
