Saturn in Opposition (Saturno contro)

Ferzan Özpetek directed the Italian-language comedy-drama Bir Ömür Yetmez (Italian: Saturno contro; English: Saturn in Opposition). Its subject is how hard it is to accept separation, in friendship and in love. It opened in Italy on 23 February 2007, reached Spain and Turkey the same year, and had its US premiere at San Francisco's Frameline festival on 20 June 2008. It runs about 110 minutes.

At the centre is a large circle of friends who have been together for years: several couples of different temperaments and newcomers who joined recently. From outside, everything looks in place, yet each couple has problems and secrets it cannot voice. The arrival of Paolo, a new acquaintance, and the sudden death of Lorenzo, one of the group, shake the balance, and everyone begins to let their hidden feelings out. The title alludes to the astrologers' belief that Saturn "against" a sign brings ruptures, change and new encounters.

The cast includes Stefano Accorsi, Margherita Buy, Pierfrancesco Favino, Serra Yılmaz, Ambra Angiolini, Luca Argentero, Filippo Timi, Ennio Fantastichini, Lunetta Savino, Isabella Ferrari, Luigi Diberti and Milena Vukotic. Yılmaz is described as Özpetek's perennial favourite actress. Özpetek wrote the script with Gianni Romoli, and Medusa Film produced.
