‘The Things You Kill’ Review: A Slow-Burn Turkish Drama That Gets Weirder, and Deadlier, as the Plot Thickens
In “The Things You Kill,” I found myself immersed in a story that initially seemed like a heavy, introspective drama about a college professor grappling with life-changing events on two fronts – his personal and professional lives. However, as the narrative unfolded, it took a bizarre turn into a realm of excessive violence, reminding me of films by Buñuel or De Palma. Characters’ identities became interchangeable, bodies started dropping left and right, and the whole situation felt surreal and disjointed. It wasn’t until Khatami attempted to wrap things up with little explanation that I was left scratching my head.
