Av: The Hunt (2021)
Police officer Sedat raids a derelict apartment squatted by a young couple. The man is killed, the young woman, Ayşe, escapes. When her friends and relatives offer no help, Ayşe is forced to steal cash and a car from her father and flee town like an outlaw. The chase goes deeper into the wild. Along with three men he has recruited, Sedat is pursuing her, out to kill in the name of honour. Taking off from the suburbs of Anatolia, Av: The Hunt continues reaching breath-taking natural landscapes, and recounts how a young woman is pulled into spiral of violence while trying to escape the patriarchal society she lives in.

Reviews
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
This is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
