Black Car, the detective film by Aram Gülyüz, the highly prolific director and master at “inventing idioms”, follows charismatic police officer Kenan (Ayhan Işık) who leaves the police department following his wife’s death and now works as a teacher. Kenan is called back to the department for an “urgent” task and assigned to a case about unsolved women’s murders. Aram Gülyüz, who prolifically made popular films of a variety of genres within the Yeşilcam system, utilises established detective clichés with a striking wit. (International Istanbul Film Festival)
