Turkish actress Saadet Işıl Aksoy won the Best Actress award at the Sarajevo Film Festival five years ago with her debut feature Yumurta (Egg), the first film in director Semih Kaplanoğlu’s Yusuf trilogy. Now, the same city means something altogether different in her rise to international stardom.
Aksoy stars in Italian director Sergio Castellitto’s Venuto al mondo (Born Twice), which takes place in Sarajevo. Featuring an international cast including Penelope Cruz, Emile Hirsch, Jane Birkin and Mira Furlan.
Having made its premiere last September at the Toronto International Film Festival, Venuto al mondo has now been released in Turkish theaters. The film, as well as Aksoy’s small but powerful role as the surrogate mother, has received good reviews. Aksoy also made headlines this week in the Turkish media, thanks to her role sharing the screen with Penelope Cruz, Spanish director Pedro Almodovar’s muse and the former love interest of Tom Cruise.
