Semih Kaplanoglu's new film "Sut"(Milk) is truly inspired. His previous film "Yumurta"(Egg) was a similarly understated narrative, admirable for its stylistic simplicity(at least on the surface level). This time around, his ideas are bolder and yet no less subtle. His cinematic language favors hiding things: A visually mysterious chase scene, the use of wide shots, a sequence that is almost completely dark...Question marks are all over the place. Even in the nature landscape, which is a constant backdrop with its suffocating bright colors and sounds. It reminds me of the famous airplane scene from "North by Northwest". The surreal is always around the corner.
