Our take

In The Pomegranate, Ümit Ünal crafts a noir tableau within an opulent Istanbul residence, where a fortune teller’s revelations expose the fragility of societal bonds. A gripping inquiry into justice, this thought-provoking film explores what happens to society when collective trust is shattered.
