İris

About This Movie

Iris (2020) is a raw, intimate portrait of Iris Mozalar, a bisexual transgender artist navigating her identity and societal perceptions. The film’s pacing is reflective, allowing viewers to absorb the nuances of her journey. Volkan Güleryüz captures the emotional landscape with a delicate touch, blending personal narrative with broader themes of gender and self-acceptance. What’s striking here is the authenticity—there's no glossing over the struggles, but there's also a sense of resilience that permeates the film. The practical effects are minimal, which keeps the focus squarely on Iris's personal reflections and the artistry that emerges from her experiences. It's an exploration of self-creation that feels both personal and universal.
