What people are saying
‘Dag makes interesting use of animation to take us into Fehmi's head space when he's high, showing that the 'escape' he is looking for is in fact as much of a nightmare as any sort of release.‘
Amber Wilkinson
Eye for Film
‘Dağ manages to tell a compelling story, bolstered by a solid script and a good cast of non-professional actors and emerging talents. The portrait of life in Istanbul's underground scene is also convincing‘
