Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A great study on how money corrupts. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member In this yearâ(TM)s KVIFF, there were special screenings of Turkish director Reha Erdemâ(TM)s films, whom I have known little about, so this film serves properly as an introductory piece. The film is a modern-day parable and the thematic target âmoneyâ? has been under the lash for the story of an upright manâ(TM)s life turns upside down after he inadvertently acquires a bag of windfall. Enjoyably the film follows a strictly engaging narrative, chronically recounts the cause and effect of the psychological swings which is slowly but deadly eroding oneâ(TM)s normal life and dramatically impairing oneâ(TM)s moral conscience. Although there is an obvious moralising route going on throughout, the building-up of the tension has been relentlessly effective, a three-way chasing in the ferry is complacently done. Leading man Taner Birsel has a wooden appearance at first, but his bookish image has managed to be a perfect template of the story, all in all, his average-joe rendition is more convincing and edifying. Zuhal Gencer, stars as the lonely-temptress-next-the-door, but in a very derogatory manner, who is not only ridiculous but miserable as well. When the final repercussions suddenly swoop in out of nowhere, it feels like a âwonderful surpriseâ?, as a dooming coda cannot be evaded, what about a wholesome breakdown? It may be the perfect outlet after a series of lies which cannot be amended. Anyway, the film is a delightful and hold-it-together triumph despite of its slightly orthodox notion, itâ(TM)s a tough call to assess the values of âmoney is the worst of all evilsâ?, since the double-edged theory is dominating our mainstream societies now, A RUN FOR MONEY could be a bold criticiser, and whatâ(TM)s more important is its ripple effect may at least give some remedy to some radical money-seekers.
