Winter Sleep reviewed by Mark Kermode

Mark Kermode reviews Winter Sleep. This film tells the story of a former actor, presently a small town newspaper columnist and proprietor of a mountaintop hotel, his much younger activist wife Nihal, and his sister, verbal sparring partner and confidante Necla. A seemingly insignificant incident involving the young son of a former hotel employee casts a huge shadow on the failing marriage of the property owner, and acts as a catalyst for a fierce debate over the class struggle that tears at the fabric of his family and friends.
