Tulliana

About This Movie

Tulliana is a contemplative drama steeped in the natural world and the human experience. Set amidst the dense forests of Anatolia, the film follows two zoologists, Veysel and Emre, on their quest for the nearly mythical Anatolian panther. Veysel’s perspective is steeped in a kind of folklore, seeing the panther as a symbol of lost cultural essence, while Emre is more grounded, focused on capturing it through his lens. The pacing is meditative, allowing the viewer to fully immerse in the lush landscapes and subtle tensions between the characters. Practical effects evoke a rawness that enhances the film’s atmosphere. Performances are nuanced, drawing you deeper into their emotional journey as they grapple with broader themes of loss, identity, and the connection to nature.
