The opening scene is probably one of the most effortlessly gripping I’ve seen from contemporary cinema. Few words are exchanged but the intensity from Bahar’s (Ebru Ceylan) facial expression, which is unnerving as anything from the best silent film actors tells it all – there’s something wrong in their relationship. We wonder whether the fault is hers or her husband’s (played by director Nuri Blige Ceylan himself). We see her crying as we hear the sound of a fly. Awestruck, one is left anticipating.
