Mustang - Sunday 18th September 5pm

Our second week of the season brings us another Oscar nominated film, this time from Turkey – Mustang. This is a film that will fill you with many emotions from anger to joy, from bewilderment to exhilaration.

First time director Deniz Gamze Erguven takes us to a small town in Turkey where five orphaned girls are punished for (what seems to us as) harmless fun with some local lads: they are locked into their house and taught to be 'wives'. Needless to say, the girls are none too pleased about this and their reactions are the key to all the emotions; whether you leave inspired by the sisterhood or angered by the sheer stupidity of the girls' keepers, we are sure the film will make you think. Strangely, Mustang is also a comedic thriller too! As Farran Smith Nehme says in the New York Post "A gripping mix of comedy, tragedy, political anger and, despite everything, hope".
