The name of the film, which is also translated as "Once Upon a Time in Asia Minor", was the Best Picture at the 2011 Cannes Jury Prize. Since it is the story of Asia Minor, it is naturally produced by Turkey. In my memory, this was the first time I saw a Turkish movie. I don't understand a single line in Turkish, but I was attracted by such a quiet, dull, and unending movie.

The bitter wind on the wasteland slowly presented the reality of Turkey. Under the headlights, the faces of those ordinary men are all thoughtful, telling their secrets, their regrets, their trivial matters, and their own difficulties. In a village where everything is simple, on a power outage night, the mayor's little daughter was holding a tray of tea with sugar added, and the kerosene lamp shone on the naturally carved face, like a face like a fairy, let the group The mind of the man who was looking for the body fell to a standstill, and the killer began to cry. Thanks to the photographer for showing the intersection of beauty and grief through the images of the film.

The police officers seem to be more concerned about why the killer ties the victim into a dumpling. This kind of "disrespect" is the reason for their anger. Of course, it is also possible that the killer took them from one place to another. Find the body. The killer who has been in a chaotic state, the reason why he started, the movie story has never been clearly explained. Instead, it focuses on the process of discovery, case determination, and dissection. The victim was buried alive, a fact covered up by doctors. At this moment, no honest words can save a life, so the doctor chose to use lies to comfort the widow. Just like him and everyone else, they have their own lies.
