Turkey’s Nobel laureate for Literature Orhan Pamuk opens a museum in Istanbul. A museum that’s a fiction: its objects trace a tale of doomed love in 1970s Istanbul. The film takes a tour of the objects as the starting point for a trip through love stories, landscapes and the chemistry of the city.
British filmmaker Grant Gee teams up with Turkish novelist and Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk for this psychogeographical wander through the streets of Istanbul. Inspired by Pamuk’s novel “The Museum of Innocence”, this stunning act of cinematic reflexivity is an investigation into a city’s psyche.
