Ise Yarar Bir Sey

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.

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.

The movie was surprisingly good. it flowed like a novel.

The most beautiful movie i watched at last times. And one of the best of Turkisch cinema. Basak Köklükaya's acting was really impressive. And the story got us in. Congratulations to director Pelin Esmer, actors and all team. They made a really quality movie.

Basak Koklukaya is beautifully carrying her character in the movie and I am totally drawn by the poetic language of the film. Turkish's cinema is fed by their strong literature and that shows us you do not need to spend million dollars to make a good movie.
