The director was present at the screening of this film in Istanbul Film Festival and said that this was a quite radical and intense film and encouraged us to bear with the "hard to bear" scenes because it would all be tied up in the end, which didn't. the audience didn't find it strong at all, and the question "why was it found so radical in Germany?" kept coming in the Q&A session.
Wwhat I have to say is that the acting is superb but the film is only "trying too hard" to be radical. It has no resemblance to "Irreversible" nor can it match the artistic depth of it. the director says you either love the film or hate it but just the opposite I left the film with almost no emotional residue. in short, bold scenes and good acting is not enough to make a strong film and the director seems to lack the real intensity which makes an auteur.
