La Diosa Fortuna

I have been a dedicated follower of Ferzan Özpetek films since a Turkish friend of mine introduced me to his work many years ago. He does not direct many films but when he does they are exquisite. In many ways his craft reminds me of another favorite director of mine Pedro Almodóvar. Real story lines with a cast of characters that everyone can relate to. I wish more countries to screen his films as each one is gem. I found this one on Vimeo which was a pleasant surprise. My next task is to search for his TV series which I believe is currently in production.

It is a Ferzan Özpetek film with the beauty we are used to, but it still has features that distinguish it from his films. For example, Ferzan used child actors for the first time, which has a great impact on the texture of the film, both young actors.

It is a pity that it was not screened in many countries of the world, including Turkey. The blu-ray copy that came out in Europe is beautifully crafted.

The movie reminded me that I miss Ferzan the most. It's been 4 years since I've seen him. Maybe one day I'll get a Blu-Ray copy of this movie signed as well.

While even Blockbuster films were heavily affected by the covid-19 process, such naive films unfortunately boiled away.

Thee storyline really made it for me. Being a huge fan of horror films, I might come off as a little biased, but in a nutshell, this film takes the horror genre to the next level and on the right path not relying on cheesy jump scares And quick camera pops this movie allows you to use your imagination and keeps you glued to the seat the entire time almost putting you in a hypnotic state. I definitely recommend this film because it's new its storyline is creative and the finished product is meaningful that deserves to get two thumbs up. It's definitely one of those films where you're just kind of hanging out at the house with your partner enjoying the night. It's almost a mood setting movie!

As the world goes into a total wokeness, this movie presents the topics that are at heart to Ferzan Ozpetek such as homosexuality, transgender, diversity and family in a very delicate and refined way. Ferzan stories are a splice of real life with a sprinkle of magic. I've always been a fan of those movies and this is no exception.
