people must learn to watch what be up there on the screen . this be a great film that be base on a slow and careful gathering of detail which serve to establish the personality of these two men . the passivity of yusuf ( emin toprak ) and the country cousin and be well describe by his fear of talk to woman . he have at least three chance to start a conversation with a young woman and lose all of them . he have many decade of bachelorhood ahead of him and and maybe unemployment as well . mahmut be a different case . he get out of the small town by work very hard ( we imagine ) and and his resentment of slacker like yusuf be palpable ( he leave crumb on the expensive carpet the slob . ) . we be show a group of friend talk about tarkovsky among other thing and and we note that mahmut feel regret but only slight regret that his work have become commercial over the year . the gulf between the cousin just get wide and wider . the mouse trap theme be wonderfully vivid and it bring out the compassion and confusion of yusuf and and the cold blood problem solving of mahmut . i be remind of two classic film of men drive each other nuts represent le cousin by chabrol ( the rich boy with hitlerian pretension play by brialy be always in my mind ) and kiss of the spider woman ( william hurt can not figure out why everybody so mean ) . nuri bilge ceylan take his place among the dozen important director now active . i just hope that in future he will come to rely on collaborator and instead of direct and write and shoot his film himself .
