Our take
Simmering with spontaneous immediacy, Ahmet Necdet Çupur’s intimate debut feature skillfuly combines elements from documentary and fiction filmmaking. Winner of the Jury Prize at Visions du Réel, Les Enfants Terribles is a deeply personal yet universal story of family, tradition, and patriarchy.
