My Take

Semih Kaplanoğlu is exactly the kind of filmmaker I gravitate toward. Winning the Golden Bear in 2010 for the contemplative "Honey" placed him among the quiet masters of world cinema, and the fact that he writes, edits, and produces tells me he guards his vision to the very last frame. Coming from İzmir and a background in journalism, he watches the world closely, and it shows in films that trust silence and natural light over plot machinery. I have a deep weakness for directors who leave space for the viewer to breathe. Kaplanoğlu carries Turkish cinema with a craftsman's patience, and I find that genuinely moving.
