Our take
Inspired by a real coup attempt, Mahmut Fazıl Coşkun’s Venice award-winning film is a unique ride between the serious and the absurd. The director’s most mature work to date, The Announcement shines through with its perfectly calculated pace, striking mise-en-scene, and impressive atmosphere.
