It's too complicated to capture the simplicity as it is !

Film : Yumurta Director : Semih Kaplanoglu Cinematography : Ozgur Eken Cast : @saadetisilaksoy Nejat Isler

As I said it is hard to showcase the surrealism !

#semihkaplanoglu work reflects #tarkovsky #satyajitray #kiarostami Any how he impressed with his surrealistic command on writing and making ( framing camera movements aspect ratio ).

#ozgureken emblematic long shots are painterly eye for landscapes and nearly impressive his usage of colours domestic lighting !

When it comes to the situations he created was genuine and organic.A struggling Istanbul poet returning to his hometown attending the funeral of his mother, who hasn't been back several years. He surprised to see the presence of a young woman ( his relative ) who has been serving to his mother last 5 Year's. Rest of the film goes through what is the consequences happened between them.

I was quite surprised to know their intro Scene, she's calling the plant's by their family names who are dead.( That is aunt Zahra, this is your father...later he replies oh good to see my father was blossom )

I was fallen love with #saadetisilaksoy pristine and graceful act. She is the one who stole Complete show with her silence moods and expressions !

Actually the movie is in a natural life perspective. I'm sure that the movie inspired Manchester By The Sea because it was produced in 2007. The starring man Nejat Isler is one of the best sample of Turkish act and definitely he would win an Oscar only he were an American.

Being a film school graduate sometimes blinds my perception. i try to shut the negative part of my brain. but if the first 10 minutes is empty i start catching the bad. Even though the opening scene was a hint of a bad movie I forced my self to finish Yumurta. the second scene in the bookshop was a mystery. i guess there was a story. but the long shots are so boring you get disconected. i read the synopsis after watching it. Even then the movie didn't make any sense. you cant expect us to understand you story if you don't tell it. It looked like there was no script just minutes of still photos. So, don't waste your time with this one. Don't let the awards trick you. This is part of a trilogy. the next one is Sut (Milk). i haven't seen it yet but i heard it tops this one.

Yusuf was selling old books in a city. He learned that his mother living in a small town was dead and he returned to his hometown to join the funeral. After the funeral he was planning to return city but with unexpected events, he stayed in the village 2 days more.

Scenorio is boring and suffering from lack of communications. Cinematography (composition-light-sountrack) is not successful. I watched the film till end, for the sake of my movie love.

I couldn't realize the reasons that juries gave the national and international awards to this film.

In summary there very successful films from Turkey, gaining awards all over the world and are really joyful.

the movie has just won the best film award in Golden Orange festival, and i was able to watch the movie in the festival.

the story is a simple one. we see a man living in a big city and somehow isolated a bit from the small hometown and the people living there. One of the people is his mother.

One day his mother dies and the man returns to hometown for funeral. There he meets with the girl who was taking care of his mum.

The man who don t care about life, who do not cry, discharges with a funny coincidence.

With stable and wide frames, long sequences and clever jokes, this movie deserves watching.
