    The Secret Face (Gizli Yuz)

    Directed by Ömer Kavur
    Turkey 1991, 35mm, color, 115 min.
    With Zuhal Olcay, Fikret Kuskan, Savas Yurttas
    Turkish with English subtitles

    Written by one of Turkey's most prominent novelists, Orhan Pamuk, The Secret Face is a modern variant on t...( read more)he medieval grail quest of Parsifal. In the basic model, a young man abandons his home, is invited to an initiation cere-mony, neglects to ask the proper question, and then wanders in the wilderness for years until he earns a second chance and finally attains the mystical experience of the grail. Kavur and Pamuk return to the original non-Christian model for this story, while setting it in the late twentieth century. The director orchestrates this fantastic, visionary tale with utterly convincing actors, a minimal score that often returns to the sounds of mourning and pealing bells, and a landscape of cobbled streets and towering trees, present at every crucial turning point as if witnesses from another time.
