Such Things Don’t Happen in This World really immerses you in its bleak atmosphere. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meandering at times, but it builds this unsettling tension. Recep's return to his village unveils a layered exploration of family dynamics and stigma surrounding mental health. The performances are raw, especially the father's conflicting emotions—shame, anger, fear—all swirling together. It's a gripping look at how society perceives madness, and there's this eerie realism that invites you to reflect on how we treat those who don't quite fit in. The practical effects are subtle yet impactful, enhancing the psychological weight without overshadowing the narrative. A distinctive piece for anyone intrigued by human complexity in cinema.
