In a dystopian Turkey, the Government begins installing new TV antennas to homes throughout the country. Mehmet, a superintendent at a crumbling apartment complex, has to supervise the installation of the new antenna. When the broadcast it transmits begins to menace the residents of the apartment complex. Mehmet must seek out the spiteful entity. THE NIGHT BULLETIN reflects the oppressed society of today's Turkey where freedom of speech is in jeopardy.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Barry Hertz
As the frequency of this particular nightmare ratchets up in volume, The Antenna proves a worthy successor to the work of David Cronenberg, Ben Wheatley and the many other filmmakers who delight in the meaty material of rancid subjects.
New York Magazine (Vulture) by Bilge Ebiri
The Antenna works first and foremost as a thriller that delivers its share of unsettling, upsetting images and scenarios — even if it doesn’t always seem to make a whole lot of sense or follow a clear narrative trajectory.
Hence, the movie lumbers its way from intriguing to frustrating. But Berham does manage to keep your attention, even as his vision tends to irritate in the wrong way.
What’s on the screen is more allegorical than interesting, although some of the visuals reach the level of indelibly nightmarish.
