9/10
Heaven
30 December 2006
The director Dervis Zaim used a different technique, combining the modern cinema with an ancient art Miniature, never consists of light, shadow, volume and perspective, to explain the unknown situation in 17th century of Ottoman Empire. While watching the movie every scene seemed as a part of art in terms of color, costumes, light and impression. The audience may either find some clues about the system of the Empire such as life style, architecture, desires of Sultan's son to govern the empire and janissaries which are peculiar to Ottomans, or feel philosophical notions which are hidden behind abstract concepts like dreams, life, death, art and heaven. The sentence of Vizier (Vezir) "Both justice and beauty are necessary for Universe" is the sentence which can be counted as favorite quote of movie.
