L'empire des loups (2005)
Turkey and Turks give more opportunities for the screen stories...
It was a very "difficult" movie.
No, I don't talk about a sophisticated script, filming or acting. It was a boring and -hard to understand- mixture of a bad scenario, bad acting and bad directing.
I think that nobody in the film stuff believed to this chaotic story.
Normally, Turkey and the Turks present better locations and stories for action movies or thrillers. But, in my opinion, this movie wasted a great chance on the screen.
Remember "From Russia with Love" and its locations in Turkey. This movie is still marvelous and a masterpiece.
And another famous movie, "Topkapi"... Director Jules Dassin also used Turkey as an exciting location in 1963.
Even Jackie Chan shot a better thriller in Turkey in 2002, "The Accidental Spy".
Don't spend your time with this fully "tired" film.
Uzak (2002)
Not for the "Terminator" lovers...
Nuri Bilge is the proud of modern Turkish cinema. He showed us the alternative way to make "strong" films with a stabile, "cool" camera and nameless players. Ceylan's "Uzak" is a summit in the art of cinema for me. Every "victim" of the metropolitian cities must see this masterpiece.
