Review of Ploy (2007) by Fatih A — 23 Dec 2007
Deconstructively treating reality and fantasy, "Ploy" tricks its audience through its deceptive cinematic form. There are few stable referents by which an objective viewpoint may be established and rarely, if ever, do we know when the dream ends and reality begins.
Quite often, the audience views characters only through some medium--in a reflection on a mirror, through a pane of glass with reflections on it. The characters are certainly complex, but in a film playing with and upon appearances, perhaps some simplicity remains.
This is a film about illicit relationships, sexual transgression, and the redemptive powers of love.
