Zlotowski’s
Belle Épine is a coming of age story about a teenage girl dealing with the death
of her mother and absentee father. The girl loses herself in antisocial
behavior, turning away from her Jewish heritage personified by her supportive
aunt and uncle, and drawn into the orbit of a wrong-side-of-the-tracks classmate
and her biker friends, who gather for chaotic, sometimes lethal night-time
motorcycle meets on the edge of town. The film won the prestigious Prix Louis
Delluc and was nominated for a César Award for lead actress Léa Seydoux. The
strikingly intimate portrait of a seventeen-year-old girl follows her transition
from disaffected youth to premature adulthood with astute psychological
observation.
The exhibition Look at Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection examines portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Through the exhibition we will be sharing about the artists and sections in “Look At Me!”.
The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation’s Orientalist Painting Collection includes two children’s portraits that are often featured in exhibitions on the second floor of the Pera Museum. These portraits both date back to the early 20th century, and were made four years apart. One depicts Prince Abdürrahim Efendi, son of Sultan Abdulhamid II, while the figure portrayed on the other is Nazlı, the daughter of Osman Hamdi Bey.
Pera Museum presents an exhibition of French artist Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the 19th century. The exhibition Wanderer on the Sea of Light presents Ziem as an artist who left his mark on 19th century painting and who is mostly known for his paintings of Istanbul and Venice, where the city and the sea are intertwined.
