    Did not like it, but can't say it's bad
    I have to admit from the beginning that I did not like the movie at all, but it does not mean that it was a bad movie. It was synthetic, artificial, out-of-place, foreign and unwelcoming. I did not believe anything in the movie for a second, since every move and every line reeked absurdity. I do not know how much of it was intended by the director, and what its purpose was...

    The scenes were disturbingly empty, and camera positions were always awkward. If the director wanted to enhance the air of surrealism by that, he succeeded. But again, why? As the finale closed, I became more and more annoyed and bored, even though Haluk Bilginer was on the screen. For me, the presence of Haluk Bilginer on the cast always guarantees a decent movie, but I think this was the exception to the rule, for reasons beyond him.

    I get the feeling that this director confuses being original with filling his movie with obtuse homages to marginal cinema examples around the world. (A Turkish cinemamaker does not have such luxury. I'm afraid he will either be weeded out by natural selection, or possibly opt to make more mainstream, box-office stuff.) Giving the director the benefit of the doubt, I sincerely hope that this was an experiment, not a failure. I'll try to see the next movie this director makes, but I will not pay for it...
