Incir Reçeli

"Incir receli" is not a good film and I'm surprised to see that so many people have thought of this film as one of the best in Turkish cinema. I'm seriously disappointed. The main problem is that neither the characters nor the storyline are well developed. The plot is simple and I usually like movies built on simple ideas. However, in this one, the simple idea is not well-crafted as to present well-developed characters and relationships. The movie intends to tell a love story but the dialogues and the events that follow each other don't really build up a strong love relationship. One constantly needs to assume that their love is really intense without actually knowing how they have come to have such an intense relationship. The characters and their relationships are much more superficial than the director has intended to present. One thing that I liked about the movie is that it has beautiful scenes. The movie was sort of like a collection of beautiful photographs for me. Some of them reminded me of other movies or photographs, others were quite original. It's also nice to see that Istanbul is becoming a stage for more and more movies, inspiring more and more original shots.

This film was beautiful. I disagree with the other viewer's comments. This film is not sexist. This film was also filmed in Istanbul not a small city, so I am guessing the viewer has never been to Turkey. Maybe the English translations weren't good. I don't know, I saw this film in the original Turkish and it was beautiful. Admittedly, some parts were a bit predictable and some of the symbolism was cliché, but this film explores a non-traditional love story and it has many other side stories and alternate themes that are explored. I wonder if it was based on a true story and I am very impressed with the writer/director's portrayal of a multi-faceted Turkish male character.

The film was a good try, but needed a lot of work. I think that, had it been more comic-faithful. It could have been difficult for non-comic readers to get into. As an emotional film, it's perfectly fine. Fig Jam is a movie 'shown value'. Before, I did not want to watch this movie.Like me too, you will not want to watch this bored movie. You will be bored in the beginning of the film. But the patience to follow the film. At the end of the movie your emotions do not listen to you. Make sure you get a handkerchief with you before the start of the movie, because at the end of the film certainly it will work. Turks began to pull away a good movie. Cheap but great, strike scenario. Whos do not like fig jam, immediately start to love, the better. Until now, this is the most beautiful films which I watched..

Incir Receli is far the best Turkish movie I've ever seen. The plot is simple, but very powerful. It starts as a movie where you just don't expect, with regards to background it is situated to, it will develop in such a pure romanticism - romantic story. I was tucked in from its first seconds and stroke by it for way longer than just the end of the movie. It is beautifully filmed, nice original scenes which slowly change into another. Nice colors. Music lives with the story, kicks in at the exact moment to support integrity of the picture and leave the right feeling. Music is beautiful by its own. Its worth to watch.. not only once.

Turkish romantic drama film released in 2011. We can't do comedy, we're really a disaster in the horror business, we have nothing to do with science fiction anyway. But did you say drama, we're really good at that.

When it comes to the movie, when I saw the characters, I said I can't get enough of them. But it misled me. The romance between a girl with AIDS and an unsuccessful screenwriter is told. If you remove the drinking scenes, the movie is half an hour. There are a lot of illogical scenes. But in the end, she manages to shed two drops of tears from her eyes. That's why I found it successful. The foreign version of the movie is the 1970 movie (see: Love Story) that made us life a prison for a while.

There is a bit of sexuality and nudity in the movie.
