Once Upon a Time in Anatolia

Synopsis

In the dead of night, a group of men − among them a police commissioner, a doctor and a murder suspect − drive through the Anatolian countryside, the serpentine roads and rolling hills lit only by the headlights of their cars. They are searching for a corpse, the victim of a brutal murder. The suspect, who claims he was drunk, can’t remember where he buried the body. As the night wears on, details about the murder emerge and the investigators’ own hidden secrets come to light. In the Anatolian steppes, nothing is what it seems; and when the body is found, the real questions begin.

Cast & Crew

Statement Regisseur

Life in a small town is like a journey in the middle of the steppes. The sense that “something brand new and different” might emerge beyond every hill, and yet the monotonous roads, all resembling each other, thinning, twisting, vanishing or stretching ... It might very well be that what moved me to make this film is primarily that the environment the story takes place in and the web of relationships seem to have the potential to explore what lies beyond the facade of the human spirit and personality.
In the film, while trailing a violent and creepy murder that takes place in a small town, it is expressed how the “common social spirit” takes command of the individual, how the darkness of each individual evolves into a “common darkness”, how everyone participates consciously or not throughout the murder process, and the unpredictability of the balance and normalization which comes after the predictable ending. The individuals of small towns, while trying to find ways to satisfy their “instinctive drives,” continue, on the other hand, to be influenced by every other person or group in all layers of the society they live in. Especially while the bureaucrats (district governor, prosecutor, doctor, chief of police, etc.) ruthlessly continue the “authority and power” struggle with each other, they also have to have their “authority” accepted by the locals who always consider them as “guests” and themselves as the permanent “hosts.”
