      Rosana B Uma biografia maravilhosa, na verdade, uma verdadeira homenagem póstuma, bem póstuma aos jovens poetas, e sua esposa, e ao professor poeta… Lindo, fotografia bela, roteiro belíssimo, atuações perfeitas, químicas e carisma autênticos, tudo muito cativante, apaixonante e emociante, trágico, chorei… "Rüştü Onur e Muzaffer Tayyip Uslu , e foram esquecidos... até agora. Este filme é dedicado a todos os poetas esquecidos" Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Visualmente es muy bella y la trama es decente, aunque en ocasiones es bastante lenta; es un buen drama turco. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A Turkish biographical drama selected to represent the country in the 86th Academy Awards and as we know it was not nominated. The 'Rhino Season' actor starred in a prominent role and directed the movie. This was not a based on the famous people, I don't know honesty, but it is only a my guess after seeing the movie. It is set in a small Turkish mining town around the time when the second world war was fought in Europe. It talks about two close friends Rustu and Muzaffer in their twenties who aspires to become poets. Craze about typewriters and their life depends on the poem they publish it in the book and weekly magazines. One day they meet a beautiful young women Suzan, daughter of a wealthy businessman and after that their life instantly change with lots of adventures and sorrow. ''If a poet spends too long in a poetic setting with a philistine, his poetry dries up.'' I loved the cast and performances. To see their act it was so real, a soul filling character representation. And then the fourth one called Mediha introduced when the story marched almost to the end, but she was good as well alongside the director himself as the fifth main role. The love story was very interesting, but can't say awesome, especially when it ends with a twist that was the moment in the narration peaks so high. So what's the wrong with the movie was, it did not strengthened exposing characters to the deep. Without initial development it moves on and on to the different set of places in the story. The romance portions were not quite delightful because the whole scenario related to that was like a friendship thing. But it had a reason that only comes out at the end that you have to wait until then. As from the literature perspective, it was one great inspiring biopic about two faded personalities from the history before the world knowing them. And as from romance and friendship side, it had different level of shades that one can go through in life, I mean like happiness, grief, adventures, survival, disloyal etc. One of the best Turkish movie so far I have seen. Those who are interested in biographical movies and literature should check it out, but remember it is about romance and friendship as well. 7.5/10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Turska sapunica od dva sata puna hrvatskog humora. Lavina patetike u zadnjih pola sata. Sve to prosje?ni hrvat trai od filma je tu. 1/4 zvjezdice za film, a 1 i 1/4 zvjezdica dodana zbog dobre fotografije. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a beautiful movie: a beautiful love story, beautifully shot, with beautiful music. I feel like it probably could have been trimmed a bit, but overall, a very good film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review m c Truly epic, amazing and poetic. The story of two young Turkish poets at the end of WW2. A beautiful film about love and friendship. It feel like such great classic like Il Postino and Mediterraneo.
