'Concerto For Humanity': The Eras We Live In
‘Concerto’ is esoteric at best, meant to satisfy the non-melanted’s sense of nostalgia. It is revisionist at worst, cherry-picking images that defy the true tapestry of the human condition.

The film tells the story of a gangster who declares war on the mafia. Canpolat is a gangster who works as a hit man. His brother is institutionalised for drug addiction. Canpolat takes action to hold accountable those who got his brother addicted to cannabis and trafficked him. However, he is injured before he can finish the mafia. When he is released from the hospital, he is thrown into prison. Adem, his old enemy, kidnaps him from the hospital and the police. His aim is to sell him to the mafia in exchange for money and to educate his daughter Hasret with this money. However, the course of events will change as some facts are revealed.

Tara Thorne’s film is equal parts emotional and comedic, illustrating the beauty and the pain of long term relationships.
“And I think to myself….what a wonderful world”. Louis Armstrong sang about this notion via his classic 1967 song, an ode to witnessing elements of our life that should be but some reminders of exactly what that concluding line of each verse indicates. Now we see our contemporary realities and, just being honest, it makes a sentiment like this seem SO overtly far away….perhaps even impossible….to accept or believe could be. It sounds harsh, but again, so much of what is occurring speaks not to beauty, but bedlam.
