Noah Land

I watched the movie in a film fistival where the director and his brothers attended the screaning. He said it was the first movie he directed and I couldn't doubt that while watching the movie. The shoots' the baground, the music, and dialogs, all combained perfectlly for a flowless movie. Films like this makes me wonder why directors with more experince and money give us bad movies while we get such a great movie from a "newbie".

Succesful film and nice musics. we love haluk bilginer

The script, cinematography etc are like a Nuri Bilge Ceylan movie.

Cenk Erturk's debut film is very interesting--only if you are not familiar with the works of Nuri Bilge Ceylan.

Erturk recaptures every element of a Ceylan and his wife Ebru Ceylan written script for their recent films. Erturk's "Noah Land" reeks of the structure of Ceylan's "The Wild Pear Tree" (2018) a film like "Noah Land" on how a grown-up man get's to finally reconcile with his father's quirky ideas and actions. Erturk in "Noah Land" even goes to the extent of lassoing the Ceylan thespian of "Winter'Sleep" (2014)--the amazing Haluk Bilginer to play the father figure once again as Ceylan did in his film. Even the Noah tree concept and the small time politics of Turkey hark back to Ceylan's "Once upon a time in Anatolia" (2011).

This is not to rate "Noah Land" as a poor film--it is indeed as good and laudable as a Ceylan film in style and content but unfortunately not unique in any respect if you are familiar with Ceylan's works.

Bilginer and Atay are very good actors last decades. Scenario is popular in world cinema, directors love family dramas always. Erturk judge Turkish family structure, bureaucracy and religion traders.

Good startup Erturk's long metrage movies.
