Edition screened: Included in Artificial Eye box set The Yusuf Trilogy, released 2011. Turkish language with English subtitles. Runtime approximately 97 minutes.
Summary: Ram slaughter.
Details: A ram is ceremonially slaughtered, barely below screen, 1:16:11-1:16:36, followed by a stagnant shot of women ceremonially butchering the body, 1:17:13-1:17:43.
While these scenes are not especially graphic, the slaughter is a disappointing surprise. Earlier in the film we hear that a ram sacrifice has been promised, but then we are relieved when that event seems to be derailed. It is a disappointing turn-around then to see a beautiful ram with his feet bound lifted from the back of a car at a ceremonial destination.
