Lucky Sonay (Illayda Akdogan) is allowed to marry her boyfriend Ekin (Enes Surum) (she remains a virgin because they have only anal sex), but unfortunate Selma (Tugbac Sunguroglu) must hitch up with Osman (Erol Afsin), the two not even looking at each other while grandma decides that they share affection.<\/p>\n<p>Having been given lessons in domestic skills by some aunts, the girls who are still single are lined up with Ece (Elit Iscan) to be next to go, then Nur (Doga Zeynep Doguslu).<\/p>\n<p>The joys of the girls give way to a serious second half, which recall Sofia Coppola\u2019s 1999 film \u201cThe Virgin Suicides,\u201d about a group of male friends obsessed with sisters who are sheltered by their strict, religious parents.\u00a0 As with that movie, \u201cMustang\u201d features caretakers who had never discussed sex with the girls, though the grandma leaves an old paperback manual in sight before Sonay\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n<p>From time to time we hear of honor killings in Turkey wherein a woman who defies her parents may be killed by her father and brothers, who apparently get away with murder.\u00a0 It seems unusual, then, for the Turkish Ministry of Culture to help finance this movie, which however comic, does a job of satirizing the Muslim culture\u2019s marriage ways.\u00a0 Director Erguven, who co-wrote the script with Alice Winocour, is clearly opposed to conservative morality, prescriptive rules that show their legislators horrified by the natural, growing sexuality of the adolescents.\u00a0 This is no didactic treatment, but instead an alternately comedic and tragic look at the repressive customs of a village people far removed from the relative liberalism of Istanbul and Ankara.\u00a0 The cast, mostly newcomers, do a thoroughly convincing and enjoyable job of unfolding the film\u2019s principal theme making \u201cMustang\u201d quite a good choice for the Oscar competition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unrated.\u00a0 97 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story \u2013 A-<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Acting \u2013 A-<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Technical \u2013 B+<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Overall \u2013 A-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/m1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/m1.jpg\" alt=\"m\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-156412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/m1.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/m1-300x120.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MUSTANG Cohen Media Group Reviewed by: Harvey Karten for Shockya.
