İzin

About This Movie

İzin is a curious piece, isn’t it? The film's atmosphere feels tense, with a gritty realism that permeates the four days spent by a hired killer and his companion. It captures the nuances of their interaction against a backdrop of moral ambiguity, exploring themes of redemption and isolation. The pacing is deliberate but engaging, allowing us to dwell in the silence as much as the dialogue. What stands out is the practical effects and the raw performances that give it an authentic quality, almost like we're peering into a hidden world. It’s distinctive for its somber tone and the way it navigates its characters' inner turmoil.

İzin has a limited format history, primarily circulating on VHS and rare DVD prints, making it a bit of a challenge to find in good condition. Its scarcity adds to its allure among collectors, who appreciate the film's unique atmosphere and thematic depth. Interest seems to be growing as more people discover its understated performances and narrative style, reflecting the evolution of Turkish cinema in the 70s.
