(Q)üfür

About This Movie

Qüfür is quite a curious piece, you know? It weaves together this thread of dark comedy with a sharp critique on religion’s commercialization. The sheikh character—he's this fascinating anti-hero, really. The film balances the absurdity of his exploits with the tender love story of Fatma and Yusuf, who find their connection in this dervish lodge, of all places. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it adds to that surreal atmosphere. There are some interesting practical effects too, though they don't overshadow the performances, which feel genuine, almost raw. It’s a film that plays with themes of love and manipulation in a very unique way, definitely a conversation starter if you get into it.
