Ise Yarar Bir Sey

I know this will be a little too early and a little too short.

Nevertheless, here it is for your information:

"The film is basically a bird-eye look towards Anatolia by an urban poet on a train."

Hope this will not undermine the effort put in making of this film.

Photography is phenomenal, acting is so natural that it looks effortless (but obviously an example of mastery).

105 minutes of pure cinematography.

I have no words to describe my feelings about it. It is a must watch! I couldn't keep my tears till the end for this movie. It moved something very deep within me and touched the roots of my heart.

One of the best Turkish movies I have seen in a while.

As the train the movie's point-of-view character (Leyla) took moves forward to its destination, the plot thickens. We see some of Anatolia from the train and on the train. 'The Blue Train' has a cozy atmosphere in which Leyla and other passengers who are like a summary of the Turkish society engage in simple but also interesting conversations. Tea, the road, everyday problems, secrets... Almost everything about life is on that train so that we could learn more about death and why anyone would come to desire it.

The movie is so full of lovely poetry and literary references in Turkish that I do hope the subtitles can live up to them.

I strongly recommend it. It's best to watch it in a chilly day and critique it afterwards with friends at a café that is as cozy as 'the Blue Train', which is exactly what I did.

I'm used to watch Hollywood movies and I really liked to begin diversifying my taste with this movie. It kept you waiting for the development of every character and how the story would advance. Made me reflect on your choices in life.

This movie became one of my favorite Pelin Esmer movies, as someone drowned in herself in her own life.

The effect of Baris Bicakci is felt.

Basak Köklükaya and Öykü Karayel became a wonderful duo.
