Hiçbir şey yerinde değil
Résumés(1)
One evening, one apartment, five leftist students, and one vision of a non-violent socialist revolution. When this gathering is interrupted by the unannounced visit of two members of a right-wing movement, things quickly spiral out of control. Turkish director Burak Çevik uses long takes and an enclosed space as a canvas onto which his ensemble cast’s strong performances paint a story reflecting the turbulent political situation in 1978 Ankara. How far are people willing to go for their political beliefs, and how much can the ideology of a group influence the behavior of an individual? Nothing in Its Place holds up a mirror to more than one revolution. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)

(KVIFF 2024) Burak Çevik's film has a very aloof opening that makes up almost half of the film's running time, but from the arrival of the uninvited guests, the experience takes an almost 180° turn and the film entertains until the very end. I appreciate the intention to shoot the film in one take, although I could imagine a different "central" object than a chandelier. The scenes with the views to/from the windows and the peephole were really well done. Last but not least, I commend the excellent dramatic music. If it weren't for the punishingly long intro, I would have rated it higher.
