earlier film is far simpler, but just as well-thought out and hard-hitting.
A younger man from a small village travels to Istambul to search for work while staying with an older family member that has done well as a commercial photographer. At first showing the man every courtesy, the host eventually becomes annoyed at the younger man's inability to find work; meanwhile, his own life is undergoing crises on every front, i.e. familial; professional; personal, that increasingly upset him and create tension.
I have read two reviews published in major publications: in each instance, it was obvious that either the reviewers hadn't seen the film at all or else had slept through it; both had shockingly incorrect information.
At any rate, this is an excellent film, exploring, like "Last Tango in Paris," the alienation that can beset single men in their late middle-years.
The acting and cinematography are excellent and, though the film does have some excellent understated humor that wouldn't be out of place in a Scandinavian film, the heightening tension and darkening atmosphere are harrowing.
The younger actor died before the film was released. He posthumously won several "Best Actor" awards from European juries.
