Edge of Night
Southeast Asian Premiere
Türker Süer Germany, Türkiye 2024 85 min PG13 (Some Coarse Language)
Disquieting and atmospheric, this tale of two brothers on opposite sides of authority leaves more insinuations than answers.
For army officer Sinan, pride is patriotism while ethics is following rules to the letter. This is even when an unexpected order demands he escort his estranged brother to a military court across the country. However, when the overnight mission runs into a coup erupting around them, and as skeletons emerge from their military family’s past, Sinan’s stoic exterior frays.
Drawn from the 2016 failed but scarring coup in Turkey, the film is steeped in a paranoid political climate that demands unquestioning loyalty. Expertly eliciting tension through its minimal storytelling, cool palettes and reverberating synths, Edge of Night pulsates with the perils of a time where it is more convenient, even necessary, to suspect than to trust another.
