Our take

Ceylan Özgün Özçelik’s atmospheric debut paints a grim picture of contemporary Turkey with a dystopian depiction of a TV channel where fake news and manipulation are the new standard. With the chilling tension of a thriller, Inflame indivisibly ties a nation’s past traumas to the present.
