"Movie Title": LA Times Critics' Choice Award from Reviewer:
Bliss is a powerfully told modern-day horror story of a Meryem, a sheepherder's daughter who is the victim of an "honor crime"; her chastity lost brutally, her sentence in the small Turkish village of her birth -- dictated by tradition, demanded by the village's most powerful man -- is death. Director Abdullah Oguz's powerful adaptation of Omer Zulfu Livaneli's politically trenchant novel follows the girl, and the cousin who's been assigned to dispose of her, on a painful journey of self-discovery that is not to be missed. Read Betsy Sharkey's full review of "Bliss" at the LA Times
In Turkish with English subtitles.
