Gönül Yarasi (2005)
Probably the best Turkish movie ever made
This is actually the third movie of a trilogy, all written and directed by Yavuz Turgul and acted by Sener Sen. The first one was "Muhsin Bey" and the second one was "Eskiya". The common plot to all three is human relations and emotions. I don't just mean love by emotions, but a great range of feelings from dedication of a life to an ideal to friendship or parenthood. I adored the previous ones, but this is something different. It catches something from very deep inside and you just loose your control. I wept throughout the movie. However it's not a sad movie, but intensely emotional. The movie is now running for the Oscar. Only concern I had about the movie was, it was too Turkish, the people, the events and the dialogs. I was afraid that it may mean nothing to a non-Turkish person. But when I read that Woody Harrelson has also cried when he watched the movie at Golden Orange Film Festival in Antalya, I once again understood that, human emotions are universal.
