Fun Stuff

Quotes:
Baran: [to Cumali, on the hotel rooftop] Don't be afraid, you will just go to soil, then you will become soil, then you will walk to the body of a flower with waters. From there, you will reach the essence. A bee will get to the essence of the flower. Maybe, maybe that bee will be me.

A great jump for Turkish cinema!, 3 April 2006
10/10
Author: Kursat Hocaoglu from Istanbul, Turkey

This movie is one of the great movies I've ever seen. Considering the zillion-dollar-movies of Hollywood this movie with its limited budget overcomes many of them! As for Turkish cinema, this movie, I should say, is a touchstone. This is the first movie in 90s standing out of its own. Acting, directing, theme, soundtrack... everything is superb. What a devotion it is...

And... Sener Sen. He is a first class, matchless actor. If he's been born in America, he may have been an Anthony Quinn. His concentration, glances, walking, tune of his voice are always flawless.

Congratulations and lots of thanks...
