Kod Adi: Venüs

I had a chance to watch the film when I was in Cyprus. Code Name Venus is a film that is about three men and a woman's love story. It started with a woman's quest for rediscovering her past life but at the same time it is about inter ethnic violence and love. Personally, I like the images in the film so much. The landscape is quite nice and it reminded me how beautiful Cyprus was in the past. Good camera angles, good location shots... Lighting is surprisingly good from a Cypriot director! Probably the best quality of images from Cyprus up until now! The only problem in the film is the issue of the Gospel of St Barnabas. I was expecting to have more information but at the end of the film it just ended! Generally speaking, a film that is worth to watch.

I have never really watched a movie that wasn't made in Hollywood or my countries own movie called Nollywood,thus i suffered a little bit of culture shock.The beginning of the movie was a little bit shaky and funny, but later i fell in love with the movie, and i got so emotional when the little boy was shot.I loved the chemistry between Yasmın and her Turkish lover,and i felt her pain when she was been raped, which has always been one of the ills of war or conflict, in which most movies tend to ignore making the main character looking untouchable. Thumbs up to the producers and actors and actress of the film, for a small time production it was well played, now i believe one can make a great impact and contribution in life with whatever little we have. kudos team....

A film worth watching. I just watched it and and I am still thinking about it. The only thing wrong with it is that it finishes so soon.It flows so quickly.It needs another 20 minutes on top of the 90 minutes.I think the lead actress(Venus)Jolie Myatt and Cengiz Bozkurt (Adamos) is amazing.The story and cinematography is excellent.I hope there is a sequel.And Cyprus's story is so tragic that I felt sorry for the Country.The fact that its based on a true story it makes it even more interesting.My girlfriend cried at the end but I did not.I came out feeling what a tragedy.I have enjoyed it very much.I don't understand some of the reviews here.I am not sure if we are reviewing the same film.

Considered to be a romance film I would give a 5/10.

The writer and the director "note" at the beginning that their film was inspired from true events and try to give a true aspect in the film. I am fan of Turkish movies because they are original and try to explain the Turkish way of living and thinking (for example from Çağan Irmak).

From my point of view the film is so evidence based on true events as the Da Vinci Code film:) Even if you try, the events do not match a real chronological order, the people in the 1950-1970 were not so open minded (both Greeks and Turks) to afford love affairs. The plot is overall a love affair of a lady with an British, a Greek and a Turk, interrupted with a Rape and shootings between Greeks and Turks. The only real things are the names that match with the ethnicity (see Adamos, Kemal etc:)

I wouldn't say not watch it, but I would expect more for this kind of movie, except if you see it only as a romance film.

the way movie start was actually pretty good. but if they were wouldn't leave the Barnabas bible it would be much better. while you are watching you feel the affect of the movie, you go to 1970's. as a bad comment i can only say i want more why did you finish??? because at the end of the movie you feel like you can watch this movie for 2 more hours. it was a good movie and i think everyone who lives on island should watch this movie. they can take lessons as how they want it. congrats Tamer i hope you make another movie. and about the stars, they acted like an Hollywood stars. with little budget they make a hell of a movie. i personally met with Jolie m. and she is one of the most natural women i ever met.
