Acceptance
I have been watching the films of Fatih Ahkin.
Today's "edition" was
Four separate stories which interlock in theme. The film is an anthology with Istanbul as the background. They all have to swallow a hard truth.
Well, there is one "trick". One character goes by in a bus while another character stands in the street. They do not know each other.
And that is kind of the theme. No one really knows one another. There is an old man, a young lesbian, a grieving mother and something else that I cannot remember.
It is a little complex. A collection of moments which are quite stupendous. Fortunately Ahkin has chosen not to tie them all together. Well, they happen in Istanbul. They are all Turkish. Except for a couple of people. See? The similarities end quickly.
This is the second or third time I have seen this film. It is still fresh. I bet I will see it again someday.
That makes it a 5 out of Netflix5.
