Les cendres

There is something I don't understand. What kind of movie is this and what purpose does it serve? If I want to watch a movie with sex content, I will open the movies that serve it and watch it. But to put more than 5 minutes of sex content in the movie for the first 20 minutes, which perversion is the work of which mentality, which I will watch for a story? We're tired of this ridiculous content. Shame on your time. Good players. Good shooting. Everything is good, money was spent. But who adds such ridiculous sex scenes to so much effort? Please anyone, I hope I don't meet in the next content I will watch.

In the movie, Türkiye and Turks are pictured as if they are Iranians, Araps or Afgans.

Balat is a very nice part of the city. In Balat you can find very modern coffees, chef's restaurants, beautiful scenery of Halic. It is not a place where you can buy spices, it is not a spice bazaar. It is very disgusting to show places and people in a way where the truth is not reflected.

The movie itself is also horrible. Characters are very superficial. A lonely rich woman, a rich and busy man, a wild and poor man. These are the prototypes and even a normal person can write such a text with these superficial characters. I wanted to rate it with a zero but it is not possible. Horrible.

Congratulations to those who made such a terrible, unrealistic movie. Mehmet Günsür will be in a terrible movie in his career, it's a pity. The movie makes you say that it's a pity for all the expenses and efforts, it's as worthless as ash like its name. The only good thing about it is the beautiful images of Istanbul. The cinematographer did a good job, but the cast, script and directing can be taught as a lesson on how to make a terrible movie in schools that teach cinema. If you want to torture yourself, it can be a nice torture tool, it is a sad that something like this comes out of this geography, Turkey, which has a lot of original stories to tell.

First let's understand the concept of Metatheatre from Wikipedia: "Metatheatre, and the closely related term metadrama, describes the aspects of a play that draw attention to its nature as drama or theatre, or to the circumstances of its performance. "Breaking the Fourth Wall" is an example of a metatheatrical device."

This film reminded me of Luigi Pirandello's 'Six Characters In Search of an Author', although it must be noted that 'Kul' is far inferior than the above mentioned, I saw an attempt to construct something akin to Pirandello's masterpiece. The characters could've been explored further especially that of the Husband, but I also understand the constraints of Netflix presentations.

I personally thought the film was decent, not good or bad but decent. I was shocked to see so many people reviewed it so badly then then again I was remembered that Pirandello's play was called "madhouse" when it was first performed in 1921. Perhaps without my prior knowledge of these I would've reacted in a similar way.

As the first reviewer states, Netflix is a major player in the streaming movie game, and this is advertised as one of the "most watched" or "popular" movie. So me being me, I decided to tune in to see for myself why this movie is rated as "popular" by netflix. Man i tell you I wish I would have passed this mess of a movie up.

The acting is completely over-bearing and portrayed exactly like their drama coach would have advised. The over-acting blends well with the complete crappy music that drones on in the background. Most soap operas are done better than this, but I suspect they made and completed the film in less than a month as its release date is 2024.

If you decide to pass up this film feel good about it, because you are not missing much.
