Documentary and fiction meet in this ensemble film about three men in Istanbul
Asli Özge's MEN ON THE BRIDGE is a film where documentary and fiction meet. Originally planned as a documentary, the film sees to of the three protagonists play themselves, while the third lead role is a piece of fiction brought to life by a professional actor. The result is a vibrant and immediate film that seems to capture the best of both worlds, combining the directness of documentary with the rigid structure of fiction. MEN ON THE BRIDGE proves that Turkey is definitely a country to watch when it comes to filmatic innovation.
