İnsanlar İkiye Ayrılır

Two Types of People

Tunç Şahin
Turkey, 2020, 101 Min

Bad loans, dirty work. Duygu and Bahadir work in an agency that buys credit claims from banks and corners debtors with psychological pressure. A ruthless struggle for survival for everyone involved in this, a critical work of commercial cinema from Turkey with an authentic background.

In the financial crisis of 2018 Turkish banks sold bad loans en masse to shady debt collection companies; these, in turn, proceeded to put the defaulters under psychological pressure. In some cases this led to the suicide of the debtors, in events that became the subject of public attention. To a large extent it was members of the middle-class who were affected; these paid for the temptations of a reasonably luxurious life with risky loans they were unlikely to ever be able to pay back. In this, his second feature film, Tunç Şahin revisits the mood of the time in an example of excitingly staged mainstream cinema that manages to generate high production value on a relatively low budget, in the process grappling with economic and social grievances in a manner both full of commitment and imbued with multiple meanings.
