The Cut

[ironymaiden]

Because I go to SIFF,  I have a favorite Turkish - German director. Therefore  The Cut was required viewing. A man loses his family during the Armenian genocide, then goes on a global adventure to find them. The whole thing is complicated by the titular cut that robs him of his voice. (Of course it's all a metaphor too, but the story at surface level is compelling enough.) Lots of stuff to chew on. I went home and read more about the history while I medicated with pizza and cuddles. I dug it. Extra points for having kind and unkind people in every culture.

I loved Head On and the trailer looks terrific. I'm going to have to see if I can squeeze this in.
