Directed, put together by Cemil Agacikoglu.With: Turgay Aydin, Gorken Yeltan, Elena Polyanskaya, Ayten Uncuoglu, Mete Domezer, Serkan Keskin.A mood piece in the minor key, "September" traces the modification in the marriage triggered having a wife's mysterious illness. As her body betrays her, cutting her breath short, she turns inward and from her husband who cannot bridge the widening gap. Based on empty spaces, diminishing light and silences, Turkish digital digital photographer-switched-helmer Cemil Agacikoglu's debut feature limns the husband's sense of superfluity and recently found vulnerability toward another lady positively seeking his help. Missing the scope of countryman Nuri Bilge Ceylan's mournful walkabouts, "September" nonetheless reps a fundamental fest-bound find. Yusuf (Turgay Aydin), an easy, introverted goldsmith, cannot sufficiently reassure his sick, frightened wife, Asli (Gorken Yeltan). He goes from sitting silently by her hospital bed mattress to winding gold strips inside the workshop above his boss' jewelry store, to pacing his empty apartment, to finally ferrying his wife to her home village once she regains strength. Meanwhile, Asli's youthful Russian wardmate (Elena Polyanskaya), beaten by her wealthy protector and needing sanctary, calls Yusuf, who finds her hotels. Helmer Agacikoglu grants or loans or financial loans these locations greatly vivid presence, using a gravitational pull that anchors his otherwise slight social story.Camera (color, HD), Ali Olcay Gozkaya editor, Taner Sarf music, Dogan Doru art director, Eda Tutuk.
