My review of Ferit Karahan’s *Djinn Wedding*, an ambitious Turkish family drama that combines Anatolian folklore, patriarchal traditions, and magical realism in a story of inherited trauma and buried family secrets. Set against striking mountainous landscapes and unfolding across three periods in the lives of four siblings, the film explores marriage rituals, family obligations, and a mysterious curse. Yet despite its powerful imagery and intriguing symbolism, abrupt narrative transitions and unresolved dramatic threads frequently undermine its emotional impact, creating a film whose mysteries are often more frustrating than illuminating.
