Eflatun

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.

"If I were asked what no one has a monopoly on, I think my answer would be emotions. Fear, grief, love, jealousy, although there are too many to list, but essentially they are all emotions. The kind of feeling that will last in us during the movie and after. From the very first day I started writing Eflatun to the end of the movie, I followed the feeling that we can fall in love with someone whose voice we hear. I can say that my protagonist will carry that feeling through" From an interview with director D. Karakush.

Another movie, independent, authorial, which has been to more than one film festival. A beautiful movie about the touching, delicate love of a blind girl who falls in love with a young man who has everything except inner harmony with himself.

Not a typical, chamber movie with a deep meaning, where attention to detail is emphasized, the musical accompaniment is at its best.

Quiet, subtle acting of Kerem Bürsin, as if shades the main character, bringing her to the foreground.

Incredibly beautiful images, warm fall colors, unhurried flow of narration give the viewer a sense of lightness and peace.

I highly recommend it to a thoughtful viewer who pays attention to details, because the emotions this movie gives are priceless.

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.

The film Eflatun is a high-quality, "tasty" festival movie. The Director Cüneyt Karakus, who wrote the script, was inspired for creation of Eflatun by a meeting with a visually impaired man on the street. He offered to help him, but to his shame (by his own admission) he realized that he didn't know how to behave with that man. Cüneyt Karakus dedicated this movie to all people with disabilities.

The main emphasis in the film is made on details and seemingly insignificant little things. The Director especially emphasizes sounds, smells and imagination

Kerem Bürsin playing Oflaz in this movie is again quite different than in other his works. He hardly laughed, seemed detached and lost. Meeting with Eflatun changed him, or on the contrary, reminded him of what he once was. Oflaz "showed" Eflatun a different world, as I thought he reminded her of her father, with whom she had special relationships.

Several times I held back tears, the play of Kerem (one love) and Irem (bravo), touched the most delicate strings of the soul, and of course, at the end I could not resist.

It would seem to be a classic plot, the meeting of a guy and a girl, but the aftertaste of watching this film is felt like warmth inside, as from a cup of hot chocolate on a cold day.

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....
