Sinekatalog’s take

Emin Alper's paranoid thriller follows an ex-convict hired to sift rubbish for terrorists while his brother kills strays. Tense, bleak and allegorical, it won the Venice Special Jury Prize for its portrait of fear-ridden Istanbul.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
