In anticipation of the upcoming 95th Academy Awards, I spoke with Tayfun Pirselimoğlu, whose latest film Kerr is Turkey’s official submission in consideration for the Best International Feature Category. Revered for his surrealist exercises, the multifaceted Pirselimoğlu, who is also a writer and painter, adapts one of his own novels for the first time. Originally published in 2014, Pirselimoğlu speaks to fluctuating meanings and subtexts in this contemporary adaptation of a Kafkaesque black comedy. Here is our conversation:
