The State We Are İn

About This Movie

The State We Are In captures a haunting reality through the lens of a found Picasso's Guernica. Set against the backdrop of Yüksekova, a town scarred by state-led destruction, the film maintains a raw, almost journalistic tone. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb the stark contrasts between the vibrant past and the desolate present. It’s not just a documentary; it’s a poignant exploration of loss, identity, and the resilience of a community. The practical effects are subtle but striking—ruins serve as a canvas, each frame echoing the weight of history. The absence of a known director adds an intriguing layer, making it feel like a collective cry for recognition rather than a polished narrative. There’s a depth here that deserves contemplative viewing.
