Des vies froissées

Or may I also say Hector Babenco - the author of PIXOTE - the Brazilian masterpiece speaking of poverty, ghettos and the urban jungle where it is a terrible struggle to survive. The most painful in watching this kind of feature is to think that there are tons of them which remain under the radar of the distributors and other festivals. Thanks to Netflix to release them. This movie is however a bit smoother than PIXOTE, though remaining very dark and gloomy. I also found a tiny relation between this film and Fritz Lang's MOONFLEET, because of the adult child relationship, a touching and poignant line for this unforgettable film. But maybe this is a bit too artificial, destined to make audiences weep. But that's my own opinion and that doesn't remove anything from this movie, that could have taken place in Mexico or any Central America country, where poverty spreads like a plague.

Çagatay Ulusoys performance is brilliant, but the plot was written a little bit lazy. Also saw the plot twist coming after half of the movie, but it didn't really help the story. The colors and settings were also not really supporting the sad tale about this poor people, would have been a 6/10 for me, but the actors were all great, and as I mentioned before, Çagatay Ulusoy should get an Oscar for his great acting.

Sweet, angelic, sensitive, exciting, passionate, delicate... Emir Ali Dogrul's performance is fantastic, painful scenes, stupendous, Çagatay Ulusoy also delivered an impeccable and intense, visceral performance ... Beautiful photography, referring to playfulness and poetry, contrasting with the poor and dirty reality of the scavengers ... The Turks know how to hurt, they leave us with a little heart tight ... And what an outcome, what an outcome !!!

Greetings from Portugal :) Loved the movie and I cried a lot. But its impossible not to do so. How can anyone see this movie without getting emotional? This movie was so intense and sad. We could feel Mehmet pain :( But, I loved it anyway. I love the director and the main actor. Çagatay was incredible. All the cast were. The storyline is great. It´s a harsh but true picture of the cruel situation of many street children around the world :( Everyone involved in this project is to be congratulated :)

A special performance by Cagatay Ulusoy and a good music in the whole movie and a very good direct and crew Just all are so perfect Intersting and very sadly
