There’s little in the way of narrative in Times and Winds’ depiction of three children growing in a remote Turkish mountain village, rather the film attempts to capture the totality of the experience - the inner conflicts and turmoil as well as the external battles within families and between different generations. Aligned to all this, there is consideration of the implications of community, nationality, spirituality, mortality and existence, of being a part of the wider world. Evidently those are big concepts to grasp hold of and place within a film that’s little over 100 minutes long, but director Reha Erdem seems to not only have a mastery of the familiar arthouse cinema techniques traditionally used to examine these ideas, but also have a deep understanding of those elements and their importance and influence in determining the direction of young lives beginning to grasp the significance of the world around them."
