A dark satire that doubles as both a stern attack on Turkish macho culture and a mockery of the country's impotent ruling class, Coskun's film is the rarest of beasts: an intelligent, subtle political film that does not reveal its cards too quickly.

Battle Royale With Cheese

Amusing, witty, it keeps you wanting to know what each new confession, and subsequent reaction, will be.
