Si je t’oublie Istanbul

Nora Seni
1989 France; Turkey 27 minutes Turkish

“A woman returns to her hometown ready for a confrontation with a suffocating Jewish community. But as time passes, on the banks of Bosphorus, after conversations with her friends, barouche sides in the islands, tenderness penetrates the anger, transforming it into nostalgia. But for whom, for what ? For an over placid community, for its superb gentleness and threatening forgetfulness, or for the city? Hometown, archaic and magnificient. If I should forget you Istanbul…” (Nora Seni)
