Av: The Hunt
Als Ayşes Affäre auffliegt, erschießt ihr tobender Ehemann den Liebhaber, während ihr ganz knapp
die Flucht gelingt. Die Familie hetzt gleich mehrere Häscher auf die junge Frau, die versucht nach Istanbul zu kommen, in
der Hoffnung sich dort verstecken zu können. Emre Akay nimmt das Reizthema Ehrenmord und das diesem zugrundeliegende toxische
Patriarchat zum Ausgangspunkt für ein so gnaden- wie atemloses Genrestück, das Motive von Survival- und Rachethriller aufgreift
und von der überragenden Hauptdarstellerin Billur Melis Koç getragen wird. Av: The Hunt ist so rasant wie relevant und jedenfalls
einer der potentesten White-Knuckles-Spannungsfilme der Saison. Anschnallen!
