Bir Avuç Deniz (2011)
Not Good... But Can Not Say Bad... Interesting!!! Really interesting!
This movie somehow tries to do something interesting. It starts like a romance however it turns out to be a romantic thriller and a criticism of bourgeoisie. To me, it is a brave step while Turkish romantic movies are so popular and it is really easier to get audiences' attention and a big piece from the box office cake these days. This movie is about a love triangle however the point is not that very story, but it underlines how men can not grow up under their mothers' shadows and how far mothers can go to protect their sons from dangerous women. This really makes the film different from the others but on the other hand serious problems in directing and editing and big flops in the storyline prevent it to be a successful attempt and unfortunately make you feel like you are watching a parody in some scenes. Still, because of this interesting nature of the film it makes you sit on that seat and watch till the end. To watch this film is really an interesting experience, and probably it will soon became a cult. One last thing about the actors: I think they really did what they were supposed to do. The script doesn't let you identify with any of the characters and probably because of the lack of directing they all play from different notes, but it is good to watch Tulek's warm performance as the best friend of the real guy and Aksel's cynical performance as the loving mother.
