Adulthood is overrated in many ways, and that’s especially so in Istanbul, according to this comedy set in an apartment building full of nosy folks. There’s the six-year-old who doesn’t want to get circumcised. There’s the teenager who doesn’t want to join the military. And then there’s the poor guy who’s exiting his twenties, but doesn’t want to move out of his parents’ home. And why would he? The grownup world is just so demanding, and oftentimes so stupid. Reha Erdem’s lighthearted look at three phases of manhood is part of the Walker’s “Global Lens” series of films from developing and under-filmed countries. 612-375-7622; www.walkerart.org
