Harry, why is it that Yumutra does not follow to the strict model? I watched it a few days ago and i can say its one of the undiscovered contemplative masterpieces from turkey to adhere to the strict model of CCC.

Yes, I probably need to rewatch it, because the "minimum profile" of the strict model evolved since its first release.
I think the first 2 films the Yusuf trilogy are more in the Nuri Bilge Ceylan territory. I mean, they are quiet, less speechy than most films for sure. But some key scenes do use an explicative dialogue to expose conflicts or past events, instead of solely using images.

In Bal, not only Yusuf is quasi-mute, but his parents who are perfectly able to speak, rarely use long speeches to inform the audience about dramatic tensions.
