Audience Member A slight film, well-done, but not especially inspiring either. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review nilufer e This is a highly over-rated Turkish amateur movie. It won many awards but I can't see why. It was just okay. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 60 lı yıllar tepecik, küçük bir anadolu köyü...ahmet ulucay'in ilk uzun metrajli projesi. 2004 montpellier film festivalinde en iyi film ödülünü almış, elin kanadalisi izlemis filmi de yorum yapmis..demis ki bu filmi "david linch" cekse idi bu film "cinema paradiso" tadinda bir film olur da odule doymazdi..karpuz kabuğundan gemiler yapmak, olmayacak şeylere umut bağlamak demekmiş bir de.. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member cok sevdim cok sevdim cok sevdim. yasasin Ahmet Ulucay! hemen iyilesip yeni filmler yapsin! canim =) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Seyrettigim en guzel film, benzeri yok. Ahmet Ulucay hem yonetmis, hem de filmde berber rolunu oynamis. Tum oyuncular yore halkindan, %100 dogal bir film. Ozellikle secilen muzikler mukemmel. Sanat icin yapilan anlamsiz filmlerin yuzune tokat gibi carpiyor.Asil sanat budur... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member It's most certainly a small,unknown little Turkish gem by a possibly one-time director as is usual with independent filmmakers these days.Amateurishness is easily debated as a menacing fact,hostility on the behalf of "serious" auteurs.Paradoxically,the term is constantly altering,Ulucay embraces his characters with a sparkling warmth and the process of "being a director"and adolescence is just charming and heartfelt like watching your teen experiences on a film-reel.
