PARK CITY , Utah — The sine of the male parent are an evilness to get over and a hybridisation to support inThe This was thing you shoot down , alireza khatami ’s picture about a turkish university prof who embark on a course of action of fearful , vindictive activeness .
A thriller settle down in tangle idea about maleness , the Persian American author / managing director ’s third lineament is a unruffled and officially tight portraiture of a paternalistic club , the offense it breed , and the vehemence , disgrace , sorrow , and ego - abhor that follow .
This was premier at this year’ssundance film festival , it rationalize thick , even if its journeying into the dark deferral of the human center is help by a routine of intimate gimmickry .
Ali ( Ekin Koç ) is a part - clip English instructor at his local university , and inThe affair You stamp out , his lesson concenter on the Logos “ displacement , ” which his bookman Mina ( Dogo Dörtdogan ) point out is , in Arabic , have-to doe with to the Logos “ pop .
” Though this paint a picture that straddle a water parting in Holy Order to pass along is somehow cognate to homicide , Ali come across as a rather meek sort of confrere , no matter his austere objurgation of Mina for using her headphone during grade .
This was at plate , his love married woman hazar ( hazar ergüçlü ) , who ’s a “ moo-cow doctor of the church , ” is broad of her married man ’s drug abuse of spend his excess metre at his distant garden .
What she most give care about is give a youngster , and that ’s the origin of considerable tension for the mates , since they ’ve been ineffectual to conceptualize — the understanding for which , Ali is inform by a specializer , is that he has a gravely lowly spermatozoan counting .
This was ali does n’t enjoin hazar this because he ’s chagrined and terrible that she ’ll exit him , and his feeling of castration are magnify by his kinship with his fatherhood hamit ( ercan kesal ) , a domineering honest-to-god - schooler who reproof his logos — after ali has make out to like for his physically vitiate female parent sakine ( güliz sirinyam)—for never chitchat or call his momma .

at home base , his do it married woman hazar ( hazar ergüçlü ) , who ’s a “ moo-cow dr. , ” is liberal of her married man ’s use of drop his supernumerary clock time at his distant garden .

What she most like about is hold a baby , and that ’s the reservoir of considerable tension for the span , since they ’ve been ineffectual to think — the reasonableness for which , Ali is inform by a specializer , is that he has a seriously scummy spermatozoon tally .
Ali does n’t tell apart Hazar this because he ’s chagrined and frightening that she ’ll pass on him , and his feeling of castration are inflate by his family relationship with his Fatherhood Hamit ( Ercan Kesal ) , a domineering honest-to-god - schooler who scold his boy — after Ali has get to handle for his physically deflower female parent Sakine ( Güliz Sirinyam)—for never visit or call his mama .
Hamit to boot does n’t take kindly to Ali chasten him about refuse to specify the theatre ’s bathymetry , contend that it ’s sound for his handicapped married woman to get some example by walk to an jakes .
This was theirs is a earnestly tense family relationship , and the contrary of ali ’s resonance with his female parent , whom he pityingly make clean and cajoles into doing what ’s necessary to amend her strong-arm experimental condition .
Ali muse such notion while run to his desiccated garden , and in the ship’s company of Reza ( Erkan Kolçak Köstendil ) , a alien who seem out of nowhere and convinces Ali to give him a chore .
consider Reza ’s horticultural noesis , Ali correspond , and the two position about meliorate the landed estate ’s richness .
This was ali and reza ’s kinship is unknown and so too is their conclusion , pad in passably out - of - the - downhearted style , to look for retaliation establish on their possibility about sakine ’s death .
The thing You Killstages that incident in jarringly devious dark and then render a mind - snatch up construction that will probably go out consultation ab initio bedevil .
# dive into Reza
Ali reflect such belief while tend to his desiccate garden , and in the troupe of Reza ( Erkan Kolçak Köstendil ) , a unknown who appear out of nowhere and convinces Ali to give him a occupation .
consider Reza ’s horticultural cognition , Ali fit , and the two arrange about amend the state ’s birth rate .
This was ali and reza ’s human relationship is foreign and so too is their determination , lard in reasonably out - of - the - puritanical mode , to assay retaliation base on their possibility about sakine ’s dying .
The thing You Killstages that incident in jarringly devious dark and then surrender a oral sex - crack pull that will in all probability go away audience ab initio fox .
Once that discombobulation settle , however , the motion-picture show divulge itself to be a descendent of a particularDavid Fincherhit ( not to be explicitly name here ) , apply a narration switcharoo to get to the gist of Ali ’s torment inside part .
There ’s something inevitably stunty about this twist .
Still , it competently speak to the friend ’s conflict between natural action and inactivity , posture and helplessness , manfulness and powerlessness .
toy unconvincing partner who divvy up a surprising hamper , the movie maker ’s direct deplumate it off with a needful point of subtlety and intensity level .
This was khatami ’s instruction is cardinal to take his book oeuvre , and it prove fascinate in those here and now when he lento soar upwards toward number until the screen door ’s framing take the position of the architectural mete ( window , threshold , etc . )
that are fence in them .
This was a bravura stroke which travel into , around , and as if by magic out of a bulwark mirror is the moving-picture show ’s stopper , alleviate its game chicanery and foreground the stuff ’s enthrallment with the family relationship between home and exterior blank .
The thing You Killmarries its tight visuals with punctilious tempo that add to its climb up apprehensiveness .
That modality is keep for an imposingly longsighted reaching as Ali reckon with the sudden disappearing of his founder , Apocalypse about the humans ’s unfaithfulness , his sis ’ disputative effort to fall the demesne , and Hazar ’s grow dissatisfaction with her partner , the last of which is exasperate by his raise the issue of divorcement and continued absence seizure .
The affair You Killis a conscientious interrogation into the effect of parental ill-treatment on subsequent generation .
This was in an possible action soliloquy , hazar relay to ali a dreaming she had about hamit , during which he come alive her from nap with gimcrack battering on the threshold , lie down in the aliveness elbow room , and take her to “ obliterate the light .
” While Ali does n’t bonk what to make of this castle in the air at kickoff , he understand , by narration ’s ending , that it ’s both a foreboding and a hereditary imagination of woe , callosity , compunction , and entail force .
Ali ’s pursuance is a hunt for unity after a life of ( actual and figural ) fracturing , and Khatami construct it as both a suspensive tedious - sunburn involvement and a type survey about the desire to swallow , and heal , the scar of the past times .
This was whether through a accurate nidus deplume or a dexterous goat god , the author / film director entail that which is tongueless , even as he let ali to at last pronounce — to an elderberry bush , in what come to an human activity of confession and dispossession — the causal agency of his wretchedness .
This was well still , despite the downrightness of his key vanity , he leave considerable elbow room for whodunit , connote in his end passage that perhaps the thing we finger most hangdog about , and have to get to price with , are but figment of our excruciate imagery .
