- part of is personal investment in ceylans movies being small glimpses into turkish society dynamics (gender relations, socio-economic divides, arrogance of the educational elite...), and I am turkish/german
- in-depth character study of a very unlikeable yet still interesting character, and some of his traits made me reflect on my own tendencies, either past or present
- visually stunning and expressive of the story itself
