Red Istanbul
“Nothing is more important than love.”
Orhan who lived in London for years and did not come back to Turkey agrees to help Deniz -a famous director- edit his first book. Deniz has been living in a mansion with his family which started to lose its old brightness and power. Orhan finds himself in the middle of Deniz's complicated relationships, mysterious friends and stange family members. This is the first movie of Ferzan Ozpetek which is shot in Turkey after a long time. It is also based on his own book which has the same name with the movie.
A visually rich, introspective drama that unfurls like a half-forgotten memory. It's a slow, atmospheric journey into the heart of complex relationships and the weight of the past, steeped in a melancholic, romantic haze.
