The Turkish film is a well-observed character drama that also illuminates the troubled history of the region.
ISTANBUL -- The long history of conflict between Greece and Turkey has generated a lot of bloodshed in the real world and a fair amount of potent drama in literature and film. A fresh approach to the subject invigorates Strangers in the House, one of the most affecting movies shown at this year’s Istanbul Film Festival. The film may be too specialized to achieve much exposure beyond the festival circuit, but it’s a small gem that will stir audiences who have a chance to see it.
