Our take

One of the most sublime works of modern Turkish cinema, Autumn tells the tale of two souls from different backgrounds who are trying to make sense of their lives. This ravishing visual poem depicts love’s bitter nature while unveiling the violence in Turkey’s political landscape in the late ’90s.
