Eflâtun

The film is measured, unhurried, you have time to comprehend the plot. There are pauses between dialogues and in such pauses you leaten to silence, or some natural sounds: if the characters are in a watch workshop, you can hear the clock running; if they are on the sea shore, you hear the sound of the surf, but all these sounds are soft and unobtrusive.

The sound of rain...- there is a separate story related to rainy days and umbrellas. Music and sounds represent key aspects in the story and in the life of Eflatun (the main women character).

Both actors play great and no one hogs the blanket. Everything is very calm, without quarrels and scandals. Kerem Bursin here acts in a completely new image. When I watched the movie I did not see Kerem and totally believed he was Oflaz.

The movie makes you want to watch it a second time, it makes you think. And definitely recommend to watch Eflatun on the big screen (if you have a chance).

Cuneyt Karakus (the Director of the film) told what motivated him to make this story and the actors magnificently embodied in this movie his feelings, emotions, his inner world.

This film became a symphony for me! Enchanting in its sounds and beyond.

What a magnificent sound this film has! There is something incredible about it! A perfect harmony! And, of course, the voice of Oflaz (Kerem Bürsin).

I found the director's choice to show the world through the prism of shimmering colors and shadows in Eflâtun's imagination extraordinary and original.

And, of course, symbolism is present in everything: in the sounds, colors, objects, phrases, movements, and scenes. Nothing is superfluous. A high and perfect harmony of every element.

A very delicate, fascinating, aesthetic, and at the same time deeply touching and passionate film. A work that leaves a deep mark on the soul and an endless trail of reflections on the meaning of life.

In one word, a symphony that mesmerizes from the very first note and doesn't let go until the final chord.

Kerem Bürsin is incredible here, as he is everywhere! Once again, I was amazed by his outstanding acting professionalism! A true master of transformation! The actress Irem Helvacioglu, who played Eflâtun, was very natural and authentic.

I'm impressed with the film.

I watched it in one breath. Kerem Bursin's voice is magic!!!

Before the movie started, the Director said that he wanted to understand the world of blind people, to take this world into his world of sighted people and take the feelings of blind people emotionally.

I liked the fact that Kerem is not pulling a blanket on himself here, so the role of Eflatun is a major one.

Irem is just peerless!!! To play a blind girl without emphasizing her inferiority, to show all the beauty and complexity of her worldview through sounds, smells... Amazing!

About Kerem: He's different in this film. I haven't seen him like this anywhere else. Soft, minor, but also very sensual and deep!!! Not one hug, not one kiss, but how he conveys that love has entered his life, not tactile, but on the level of accepting the inner world of Eflatun - a seemingly completely blind world, but full of the colors of music, songs, smells and associations. Magic...

The movie has so many beautiful frames with Kerem's hands, eyes, there is no emphasis on muscularity and brutality. The focus is on the eyes, lips, hands. And of course on the voice!!!

I understand that this film is not for the general public, but for those who understand and feel love at the level of communication, words, half-eyes....

Risky bet because it is an independent film, even so, it is important to note that it has received excellent reviews in all the festivals where it has been presented, winning the special audience award in the last festival where it was screened.

Elatun is a young woman who lost her sight when she was 5 years old.

He works in a watch repair shop that he inherited from his family.

One day, his life takes an unexpected turn when a man leaves him his umbrella on a rainy day.

When she hears his voice, Eflatun falls madly in love with him.

It is a perfect game of light and shadow, masterfully interpreted by Iren Helvacioglu and the famous and great actor Kerem Bursin.

One of the best films about love. It's a beautiful story. Sensual, very soulful.

The film is incredibly bright. I have so many emotions and aftertaste... And from the first to the last frame. I watched this movie until the very end credits, I just couldn't stop the music. And at all.

All the ambitions of the director are fully justified.

This is really the most romantic and most wonderful film about love.

The pandemic was terrible, but even in the worst there is something good. Eflyatun.

This is a movie for everyone, for the widest range.

I was afraid of some kind of hopelessness and depression, but I repeat, the film is very bright, warm, emotional in the best sense of the word. So many powerful scenes. That's really every frame is valuable.

Well, actually, this is basically one of the best films I've seen. And among the melodramas, perhaps the best.
