Trivia
Director Emin Alper loves long dinner scenes, which feature in almost all his movies, as these scenes are ideal to surface simmering tensions. The movie's garden dinner sequence was rehearsed many times, where he let the actors improvise to some degree, and added a few he liked to the script. When it came time to shoot it, the scene was almost ready, but it still took four nights of filming, and the biggest challenge was to keep everyone on top of their game throughout the long shooting hours.

Epic

Disturbingly real socio-political analysis of rural areas of central anatolia. It's really well processed and keeps you interested about the plot. A lot of drama emphasising also the corruption within the justice system. No law enforcement officer could actually perform its work under the shadow of politics and manipulated society. The chain of command was also reflected really well considering the judge, prosecutor and police triangle. It's definetly a must watch to understand the situation in Turkey. It's so underrated and should be promoted more. I don't think it gets the credit it deserves in Turkish media.
