The latest one is called BLISS, or "Mutluluk," based on the novel by Turkish writer Zulfu Livaneli, and it is lovely. It's one of those indefinable things, when you don't exactly know whyyou love something...but you do! With subtle, stunning scenery and a wonderfully sparse script, the film fully explores nice big themes of love, war, honor and trust. At times it feels very much like a documentary, with that standing-right-there street view. There are three main characters: a brave and original girl escaping a life ruled by tradition, a conflicted and angsty soldier, and a university professor trying to break from a rigid, cultured career.
Also check out the music in it, which is haunting, simple and waveringly beautiful.
Watch this movie with an open mind.
Wow....that looks very intense. And also rather intriguing.
