Nar

Turkish thriller film produced in 2011. The movie starts off nice and interesting, then the motive comes up and the interest and mystery fades. After that, the movie turns from thriller to normal drama. Even this way, when you say it's not bad, it comes to a disastrous end. In other words, the director neither thought nor made an irrelevant ending to the movie, or what was needed.

A woman comes to a woman named Doctor Sema, saying that she is a fortune teller. She says she made an appointment for fortune telling. The woman has some special abilities. While he says some things about the woman he's looking at, he actually has other plans. There is a traumatizing incident between the woman and her daughter.

There are no normal relationships in Serra Yilmaz's films either. Either female to female or male to male.

There is no sex or nudity in the movie.

"The Pomegranate," directed by Ümit Ünal, is a captivating Turkish drama that skillfully weaves together themes of love, loss, and the intricacies of human connections. Released in 2011, this film is packed with unexpected twists and features standout performances. Serra Yilmaz delivers an earnest portrayal that deeply reverberates with audiences, showcasing her incredible talent for expressing a wide array of emotions. Irem Altug and Idil Firat also shine in their roles, adding depth to the dynamic ensemble that enhances the film's remarkable narrative.

One of the film's most impressive elements is its screenplay, which stands out as one of the finest in contemporary Turkish cinema. The writing is rich in nuance, delving into the complexities of relationships and the bittersweet aspects of life, all conveyed through sharp and insightful dialogue.

While the screenplay is truly exceptional, the direction falls slightly short of its brilliance. Ümit Ünal's vision, though admirable, sometimes lacks the subtlety required to fully capture the screenplay's potential. Nevertheless, the film remains a rewarding experience, largely thanks to Serra Yilmaz's powerful performance and the engaging storyline.

A woman let's a harmless looking fortune teller into her house. The fortune teller is clearly gifted, but it turns out she had no intention of just telling fortunes... and soon the woman deeply regrets letting her in. It's a psychological drama - with some Turkish style comedy moments - in which nobody is what he/she seems to be. The name Nar/Pomegranate refers to the pomegranate as the forbidden fruit that Eve eats in the Garden of Eden (according to the Quran, like the apple in the Cristian tradition) and symbolizes sin or earthly pleasure. I give the movie a 7+, because the story has some good, unexpected turns. It's definitely worth watching if you like Turkish cinema.

It's a beautiful movie shot in one studio, The final is confusing people but The movie tells the main idea well. This film can be an example for those who want to make movies with low budget
