Erdem's use of non-diegetic music is masterful, one of those rare occasions where the sound design wholeheartedly enriches the image. A mesmerizing portrayal of turkish culture in a secluded village - the norms and standards in family life, religion and society. One can learn so much from this, it is as meaningful as it is beautiful. The interaction between nature and the children is enchanting and a key element.

Çoğumuzun çocukluğunda yaşadığı şeylerin karışımı gibi olmuş biraz,müziklerle film karelerini pek bağdaştıramadım,Her an biey olacakmış gibi bir müzik ve herkesin günlük yaşama devam etmesi verilen fonun ve seyircinin beklentisini düşürüyor..müzik daha ağır kalmış sanki sahnelerin yanında,her hüsran sonrasında çocukların bişeylerin içerisinde donup kalmaları harikaydı!genel anlamda güzel bir yapımdı.emeğinize sağlık.

The passage of time and youth. Both beautiful and fascinating to watch. A film which feels authentic and authoritative in its study of rural life in Turkey. Stunning scenery with assured performances, especially by the children. Arvo Pärt's haunting score so typically adds emotion and depth. I didn't want to leave.

this is of unreal beauty. cities are out-dated, long live rural Arcadia! i doubt i have ever seen a night so dense and palpable in any movie before.

A perfect example of a contemporary film in which the soundtrack actually enhances the film's mood and diegesis rather than merely manipulating the audience.

Undeniably beautiful, melancholy and oddly moving in the end, but too slowly drawn out. Arvo Pärt's music, though wonderful, often felt like it was adding a too heavy-handed portentousness. It's stayed with me, but I was expecting more.

Every once in a while a film comes along that is both extraordinarily beautiful and profoundly touching. "Times and Winds" offers such a rare treat.
