Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kavur was a key figure in Turkish 'poetic cinema,' where landscapes become psychological states. This was his final film before his 2005 death.
The film engages Turkey's tension between secular modernity and mystical Sufi traditions — Sinan's 'vision' could be read through either lens.
