Les Chants du cœur

Soner Caner's latest project, which I have been following since the movie "Rauf" and even took it a step further and reached the level of Stalker.

Soner Caner is a director with the mindset I love, each film is a different color, a different genre, but they all make you feel like they are a Soner Caner movie from the very first frame.

There is a similar viewing pleasure in Tolga Karacelik's movies.

It's hard to believe that "Mukavemet", one of the two movies I watched in 3 months, and this movie came out of the mind of the same person.

Gönül / Heartsong In Caner's mind, it's like taking a stroll in Southeast Anatolia with Emir Kusturica.

Again, Caner was not content with the fact that the names in his staff exist as celebrities, and he made them go to the limit as far as they could go both visually and in terms of performance.

Just like in the films Rauf and Mukavemet, Caner is successful in reminding the actor that he is an actor and a part of the story, which is the subject of the new Turkish cinema's most unsuccessful.

The sound engineering and cinematography of the film are also great.

Perfect scenes, great music, top acting... The culture presented is a mixture of original cultures of Anatolia and becomes international. It feels like Gypsy culture mostly, but then becomes Kurdish, later Turkish nomad, sometimes Laz,... but later, it even feels like Indian, African or Latino... It's so close and yet so far at the same time. I smiled and cried at the same time... Like a delicious recipe with various spices.

Well not much to talk about..Story is garbage and have no sense,ending is meaningless. I loved Hazar's acting she really did her part. Some parts i laughed tbh and loved overall performances but in total this movie is thrash sadly.

I don't understand why this was in the top watched list on Netflix in turkey.

Another comment on here said ""no matter what the opinions are about it, you should watch it because it has achieved the most important goal in art, which is enjoyment."" Which Is exactly why I was struggling to finish the movie. No matter how "artistic" the movie is, There was Zero enjoyment. The story is boring. The way most characters are weird/ "quirky" became annoying and cringey at some point. I'm not into musical movies so I had to skip the music parts. The story is not unique or anything. The overall theme is basic and it has been done a lot in turkish movies/ series.

In the beginning, the work is beautiful and has good taste, no matter what the opinions are about it, you should watch it because it has achieved the most important goal in art, which is enjoyment.

As we will notice, the work looks like a classic, but it is not traditional at all. The time line in the film is a little scattered, but you will understand it because there is no specific goal, but rather it is a message directed about love and how you can create love from nothing.

There are some other things that are very beautiful, such as (graphic cinema), the angle of photography is very elaborate and the way of sequencing the scenes of nature that works to revive the atmosphere of the film is amazing, knowing that I did not like the display of bright colors in a village in this way.

(casting)One of the most beautiful things is the great acting staff, you can feel the harmony between the actors, but I can assure that the director may be able to build the characters more beautifully, because *Erkan*did not give his best, unlike *Hazar*, who won the admiration of a person like me who does not know much about Turkish cinema.

But the most important element in the work is (the soundtrack), which achieved this category completely free of errors, and creating music that sticks in the mind of everyone, this is a success in itself, and also the clarity of the sound makes you feel special, especially at the final scene. There is also a good thing, which is the (make-up) And the quiet touches on the shape of the actors, which let you feel the simplicity and true beauty.

The last thing I will mention is the way (Islamic religion) is presented. It is a good thing that the Arabic language is pronounced correctly and the Quranic verses as well, but I think it is better not to take religion in this way and put it with magic and sorcery and make it funny and other such things, this is insulting.
