Antolian Leopard

[Opens Nov. 4 in theaters.] After a protected, endangered Anatolian leopard suddenly dies at a failing zoo in Ankara, Turkey, that is up for sale to Arab investors in Emre Kayis' award-winning, critically-acclaimed, quirky, dark, well-acted, unpredictable, 107-minute, 2021 film punctuated with great photography, the zoo's stoic, taciturn, well-respected, miserable, divorced Turkish director (U?ur Polat), who has managed the zoo for 22 years, works with his loyal secretarial assistant (Ipek Türktan) to hide its death from the upset mayor (Osman Alka?), the police chief (Nuri Göka?an), a prosecutor (Ege Aydan), the Arabs, and the public.
