Watching a film that reminds you so much of your own experiences can be either a pleasure or a torture. “A Tale of Three Sisters” reminded me how similar Greek and Turkish people are, but some “missteps” here and there did not allow me to call it a pleasure, at least not completely. Let us take things from the beginning though.
“A Tale of Three Sisters” is screening at Thessaloniki International Film Festival
The story revolves around three sisters, who find themselves together after many years, under the roof of their father, Sevket, in the mountains of Anatolia. Havva, the youngest, has just returned from the job she had in the city, taking care of a child, after a tragedy that ended up with the kid dead. Nurhan, the middle one, is also dismissed from a similar job in another house, after her temper got the best of her, ending...

Turkish writer-director Ali Aydın had a promising start: he impressed audiences with his 2012 debut feature “Küf” (“Mold”) presented during the 69th Venice Film Festival, where he got Lion of The Future Award. Since then, he has kept people waiting but finally he comes back with his second feature movie. “Chronology,” launched internationally in Busan, is now screening at the Warsaw International Film Festival.

“Chronology” is screening at the 35. Warsaw Film Festival
