Here's an excerpt from Jed Dietz' 2012 Sundance write-up on BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD from the Maryland Film Festival Blog:
"We had all admired Benh Zeitlin's short, GLORY AT SEA, sent to us a couple years ago by filmmaker, journalist, and MFF alum Michael Tully.
But, even that couldn't prepare me for Benh's first feature, BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD, which premiered at Sundance 2012. It came out of the Sundance Labs and was written by Dudley Clendenin's niece, Lucy Alibar (Dudley has ALS and has been doing that remarkable WYPR series with Tom Hall. I didn't know about his connection to Lucy and the film until I got emails from him here after I'd seen the film).
Mythic and visually indescribable, the movie deals with the profoundest issues of family and our dangerous disconnect from nature."

FILM SYNOPSIS:
In the dead of night, a group of men - among them, a police commissioner, a prosecutor, a doctor and a murder suspect - drive through the Anatolian countryside, the serpentine roads and rolling hills lit only by the headlights of their cars. They are searching for a corpse, the victim of a brutal murder. As night wears on, details about the murder emerge and the investigators' own hidden secrets come to light. In the Anatolian steppes, nothing is what it seems; and when the body is found, the real questions begin.
"ANATOLIA is a cop movie and a road movie - but mostly it's gorgeous cinema."
- Andrew O'Hehir, Salon
"ONCE UPON A TIME IN ANATOLIA is, in a word, great."
- Stephen Holden, The New York Times
"A few days into 2012, and we already have a favorite for the new year's best movie: Nuri Bilge Ceylan's ONCE UPON A TIME IN ANATOLIA."
- J. Hoberman, Village Voice
"A masterpiece. Gorgeously shot, it's an absolute must on a big screen."
- Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine
