«Turbulent»

«‹Turbulent› (1998) opens a trilogy that brings to the forefront the dynamics between men and women in Islamic society. In intensely ornamental choreographies, large, homogeneous groups of men and women are moved through impressively stark landscapes. The editing rhythm and the film music give these allegorical productions an almost monumental character.»
