*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Make no mistake about it--in the foreseeable future, this story will be reenacted on the global scale. The War over Water is coming, probably in the next couple of generations.
That said, the analogy may not exactly match in terms of how it proceed, partly because I fail to see why the younger brother actually listened to his elder after he (the elder) proved to be completely insane and power hungry and was obviously a lech from frame one. But perhaps the Turkish family operates so strictly in general, I have to admit I know little about their culture.
In the meantime, be prepared for a descent into insanity as things go quickly, quickly awry--and the camera angles with it. There's some beautiful imagery and set-ups here that send the themes into way more effectiveness than the actual character motivations do.
