The Film Critics Association (SİYAD) has selected the best international films of 2023.
As a result of the voting, which evaluated films released in movie theaters as well as those released on digital platforms in Turkey, Anatomy of a Fall (Anatomie d’une chute), directed by Justine Triet and winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes, took the top spot on the list, followed by Martin McDonagh’s The Banshees of Inisherin in second place.
A separate ranking was made for films released on digital platforms in addition to those released in theaters.
Topping this list was Aftersun, directed by Charlotte Wells and starring Paul Mescal, while Rodrigo Moreno’s The Delinquents came in second.
The third film on the list was Alcarràs, the Golden Bear-winning film by director Carla Simón, who made a splash with her film Summer 1993.
