Popular Turkish actress loves Farhadi movies

Renowned Turkish actress Funda Eryiğit says she likes Iranian movies directed by two-time Oscar winner Asghar Farhadi.

The actress said in an interview with  Turkish daily Hurriyet, “I love Asghar Farhadi's movies. Korean director Kim Ki-duk’s films would have intrigued me for a while, but I grew out of it.”

Funda Eryiğit is a stage actress as well. She has been nominated for the Best Actress award at the 17th Afife Theater Awards in Turkey. Most recently, she played in mini-series 'Ethos' which was streamed on Nextflix in 2020.  

Farhadi has grabbed two Oscars for his films 'A Separation' and 'The Salesman'. The Iranian auteur is among the best directors in the world.
