Review of Mustang (2015) by Kino_Avantgarde — 08 Dec 2022
Often we complain about the weird questions that are asked to Turks, yet we are likely to hear those as long as Turks make their voices heard with such unqualified films.
Mustang: A French Oscar-nominated film by a Turkish director, which deals with a Turkish theme with Turkish actors in Turkish language.
I don't mean that the main failure of the movie is that it denigrates Turkey, because we all know very well how thinngs may go in Turkey. Yet, these may-go-wrong elements are expressed in a very makeshift way, with a mediocre script, using an unpromising cinematic technique. And my objection is that Turkey suddenly become popular with such an unqualified movie, while we have many more valuable ones to become famous with in the world which do not necessarily have such a depicted social message concern in its center.
