Our take
Metin Erksan’s _Revenge of the Snakes, an adroit transformation of Fakir Baykurt’s social-realist novel, unflinchingly portrays the collapse of a rural society. Erksan’s discerning probe into the corrosive effects of prolonged neglect elevates this film to a timeless cornerstone of Turkish cinema.
