A drama of a woman and a double life. English title: Secret Face.
Sinekatalog’s take
Ömer Kavur's drama follows a woman living a double life in Istanbul in a subtle, dreamlike study of identity and desire. Moody and visually refined, it is a quiet, intelligent piece in Turkish art cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
