Eflatun

This movie has a very serious social message. There are "other" people living next to us. But how cleverly they cook food, clean the house, navigate a new space, work, learn, love, hear things we miss. It seems to us that these people need "help." But the Director of the film shows us through the example of Eflatun, who teaches Oflaz (i.e. Not vice versa), that their capabilities are unique.

Two eternal questions of life are touched upon: whether we are the masters of our own destiny, or everything is predetermined in the world and not accidental?

Regardless of awards this film hasn't won or has already won in various International Movie Festivals, for me, this man with a universal soul - Director Cüneyt Karakus, has already received his Grand Prize. To see the problem of society in such a way, to nurture the idea for many years, to choose so perfectly the actors, musicians, animators! Bravo!

This is the Best movie drama i've ever seen.. You guys must watch this movie, i have to admit that Irem and Kerem are very good in this movie The cinematography was perfect!

I've never seen this kind of movie in Turkish industry.. The story, the plot, the acting were so perfect The director was also very smart to create an angle in every scene this kind of melodrama which make your tears fell down i think this movie should get some awards for the Best cinematography and Best leading actress Kinda like a classic hollywood movie but with different flavour, i meant in a good way of course Good job.

I'm impressed with the film.

I watched it in one breath. Kerem Bursin's voice is magic!!!

Before the movie started, the Director said that he wanted to understand the world of blind people, to take this world into his world of sighted people and take the feelings of blind people emotionally.

I liked the fact that Kerem is not pulling a blanket on himself here, so the role of Eflatun is a major one.

Irem is just peerless!!! To play a blind girl without emphasizing her inferiority, to show all the beauty and complexity of her worldview through sounds, smells... Amazing!

About Kerem: He's different in this film. I haven't seen him like this anywhere else. Soft, minor, but also very sensual and deep!!! Not one hug, not one kiss, but how he conveys that love has entered his life, not tactile, but on the level of accepting the inner world of Eflatun - a seemingly completely blind world, but full of the colors of music, songs, smells and associations. Magic...

The movie has so many beautiful frames with Kerem's hands, eyes, there is no emphasis on muscularity and brutality. The focus is on the eyes, lips, hands. And of course on the voice!!!

I understand that this film is not for the general public, but for those who understand and feel love at the level of communication, words, half-eyes....

The film is measured, unhurried, you have time to comprehend the plot. There are pauses between dialogues and in such pauses you leaten to silence, or some natural sounds: if the characters are in a watch workshop, you can hear the clock running; if they are on the sea shore, you hear the sound of the surf, but all these sounds are soft and unobtrusive.

The sound of rain...- there is a separate story related to rainy days and umbrellas. Music and sounds represent key aspects in the story and in the life of Eflatun (the main women character).

Both actors play great and no one hogs the blanket. Everything is very calm, without quarrels and scandals. Kerem Bursin here acts in a completely new image. When I watched the movie I did not see Kerem and totally believed he was Oflaz.

The movie makes you want to watch it a second time, it makes you think. And definitely recommend to watch Eflatun on the big screen (if you have a chance).

Cuneyt Karakus (the Director of the film) told what motivated him to make this story and the actors magnificently embodied in this movie his feelings, emotions, his inner world.

Risky bet because it is an independent film, even so, it is important to note that it has received excellent reviews in all the festivals where it has been presented, winning the special audience award in the last festival where it was screened.

Elatun is a young woman who lost her sight when she was 5 years old.

He works in a watch repair shop that he inherited from his family.

One day, his life takes an unexpected turn when a man leaves him his umbrella on a rainy day.

When she hears his voice, Eflatun falls madly in love with him.

It is a perfect game of light and shadow, masterfully interpreted by Iren Helvacioglu and the famous and great actor Kerem Bursin.
