VIFF: Three Monkeys



my rating: awesome

my blurbie: by the same turkish director that made Climates and Distant; both films i have not seen but read many good reviews about. Three Monkeys did not disappoint.

every single frame of the film was cinematic eye candy for me. EVERY ONE.

it's a heavy duty dramatic film about a father who accepts the bribe of his employer (a politician) in exchange for confessing to accidentally running over someone. during his year in jail, his wife cheats on him with his boss and his 18 year old son fails college exams. when he gets out of jail, a contest of raised voices and burrowing stares between the family members ensue.

despite it looking freaking fantastic, i had trouble believing some of the character's motivations.
