Noah Land

Cenk Ertürk

Turkey/Germany

Cenk Ertürk’s feature debut is a tense, powerful study of anger and pride. Ali Atay plays Ömer, whose dying father Ibrahim (Haluk Bilginer) chooses as his burial site a tree near his rural childhood home. When the two travel to that home, they find that the tree has been declared holy. So begins a dangerous conflict between the arrogant Ömer and the local villagers... With its provocative symbolism and its escalating current of danger, Noah Land is strong stuff - gripping, haunting, and true to life.
