★★★☆☆ In Emin Alper's sophomore film Frenzy (2015), two brothers look to survive the paranoia, terror and repression of a frantically unstable Turkey. Mehmet Ozgur plays Kadir, a lumbering giant of a man with a constant expression of docile worry. He is released on parole in return for becoming as an informer to the Turkish intelligence service. He goes back to his old shanty neighbourhood near Istanbul to reunite with his brother Ahmet (Berkay Ates) and settle down to life as an almost free man. Working as a garbage collector, Kadir is to report on his neighbours and has been trained by his handlers to recognise the smell of suspicious chemicals that might be used to make bombs.
Turkey has changed while he has been inside. "This country is weird. We all live in holes and do secret things," he complains when he and his brother's friend Ali (Ozan Akbaba) visit an illegal tavern.
