Ferzan Özpetek

Director

Ferzan Özpetek (born 1959) is a Turkish-Italian film director and screenwriter known for films that explore identity, family and sexuality.

Born in Istanbul in 1959; active in Italian cinema with a debut feature Hamam (Il bagno turco) in 1997; frequently addresses LGBT themes and family dynamics.

Stanlio's review of Rosso Istanbul (rated 3/5) reflects on Özpetek's depiction of Istanbul and recurring themes of homosexuality and memory. The film is described as a mystery about a disappearance, populated by friends, lovers and recollections. Music by Giuliano Taviani is noted.

For:Readers interested in contemporary European/Italian cinema, LGBT-themed films, and films set in Istanbul.

 Strange as it may sound, but it's true: not even a single review exists here of Özpetek's15 films or any of his other works. Well, (someone's got to do the dirty work), so let's fill this gap, shall we?
