An Intriguing Documentary

This very first insight into the works of Kutlug Ataman, a Turkish filmmaker and contemporary artist, provides the unique perspectives of quite a number of world-renowned curators on his extraordinary works. Throughout the documentary, we embark on a river-boat journey into the larger than life works of Kutlug Ataman, discovering the unknown of his style while appreciating his critical, out-of-the-box approach to social norms.

In the overall the film is quite fluent as something 'new' and 'exciting' awaits every passing minute. Since the guests are some of the most distinguished curators from all around the world, their keen, experienced mind points out things that could be seen at the corner of a passing eye, turning the whole documentary into a thrilling discovery.

A fascinating documentary and a must watch for the enthusiasts of modern art.
