Allowing that running time can be a factor in these things, Armstrong lamented the unfortunate truth that last year’s Cannes champ, from Turkish art-house deity Nuri Bilge Ceylan, had never found a big-screen booking in San Francisco — that is, until the Film Society managed to sneak it in as a late addition to the SFIFF. He added that it was heartening to see such a good turnout on the day the movie happened also to be coming out on DVD.
