Dialogue

Ali Tansu Turhan tells a story that looks into cinema from inside with his first feature film Dialogue. The film starts at the auditions of an upcoming film. We are introduced to Ushan and Hare, played by their counterparts Ushan Çakır and Hare Sürel, as well as the director, whom we never see. The film within the film is about a couple approaching the end of their relationship. As the shooting begins, Ushan and Hare find themselves drawn to each other. Will the protagonists, describing a relationship that ends, be able to regenerate a relationship in their real lives? Dialogue, the movie of a movie that starts and ends on the same set makes us think about the question of whether life affects movies or movies affect life.
