Differently from his primal films, director Cagan Irmak dishes out a drama with using Expressionist cinema language on a romantic theme. Originally written for the screen his movie accuses the modern social conventions of the couples' relationships. A considerably usual plot brings two adverse social characters to light. Despite the Expressionist components, characterization is at a very low-degree. It doesn't attract any attention of how do these people live or what do they do for a living. Lovers meet for the first time in a pessimistic mood. The dialogues they use when they meet are coarse. Their communication coarsens even more and more until the guy tenders flowers to the girl. None of them could have implied any emotion wholeheartedly. Basically, they never fell in love. But at the end, they realized that they meant for each other, even though they are not in love.
In order to direct a romance, a director should let the couple do their magic. Screenplay and the script was fruitful, yet the directing was poor. Quite evidently, there was never been a chemical accord between the lovers. They just acted as two toneless product of Expressionism. Story carried us to an ending of a man's meaning of life, which got us crushed under a heavy melancholy. At the final we took a deep breath when the secret melodrama was revealed. Foolishly we became a witness of this pointless melodrama by director Cagan Irmak.
The selected soundtrack for this movie was praiseworthy. Although, even the songs that played during the corresponding scenes couldn't fix the lack of the acting. Synchronization turning out to be voice overs is used at the final scene with an influential mix of the editing of brainstorms and voice overs. At least the success of editing saved the film.
Issiz Adam is a remarkable film because of its seeking for the relief of hopeless relationships of broken couples.There awaits a relationship movie far away from being considered as a romance. A wise well-known old saying says: "You can build relationships just with anybody, though you can only find the love within only one person".
