Eflatun

"If I were asked what no one has a monopoly on, I think my answer would be emotions. Fear, grief, love, jealousy, although there are too many to list, but essentially they are all emotions. The kind of feeling that will last in us during the movie and after. From the very first day I started writing Eflatun to the end of the movie, I followed the feeling that we can fall in love with someone whose voice we hear. I can say that my protagonist will carry that feeling through" From an interview with director D. Karakush.

Another movie, independent, authorial, which has been to more than one film festival. A beautiful movie about the touching, delicate love of a blind girl who falls in love with a young man who has everything except inner harmony with himself.

Not a typical, chamber movie with a deep meaning, where attention to detail is emphasized, the musical accompaniment is at its best.

Quiet, subtle acting of Kerem Bürsin, as if shades the main character, bringing her to the foreground.

Incredibly beautiful images, warm fall colors, unhurried flow of narration give the viewer a sense of lightness and peace.

I highly recommend it to a thoughtful viewer who pays attention to details, because the emotions this movie gives are priceless.

This is the Best movie drama i've ever seen.. You guys must watch this movie, i have to admit that Irem and Kerem are very good in this movie The cinematography was perfect!

I've never seen this kind of movie in Turkish industry.. The story, the plot, the acting were so perfect The director was also very smart to create an angle in every scene this kind of melodrama which make your tears fell down i think this movie should get some awards for the Best cinematography and Best leading actress Kinda like a classic hollywood movie but with different flavour, i meant in a good way of course Good job.

One of the best films about love. It's a beautiful story. Sensual, very soulful.

The film is incredibly bright. I have so many emotions and aftertaste... And from the first to the last frame. I watched this movie until the very end credits, I just couldn't stop the music. And at all.

All the ambitions of the director are fully justified.

This is really the most romantic and most wonderful film about love.

The pandemic was terrible, but even in the worst there is something good. Eflyatun.

This is a movie for everyone, for the widest range.

I was afraid of some kind of hopelessness and depression, but I repeat, the film is very bright, warm, emotional in the best sense of the word. So many powerful scenes. That's really every frame is valuable.

Well, actually, this is basically one of the best films I've seen. And among the melodramas, perhaps the best.

I'm impressed with the film.

I watched it in one breath. Kerem Bursin's voice is magic!!!

Before the movie started, the Director said that he wanted to understand the world of blind people, to take this world into his world of sighted people and take the feelings of blind people emotionally.

I liked the fact that Kerem is not pulling a blanket on himself here, so the role of Eflatun is a major one.

Irem is just peerless!!! To play a blind girl without emphasizing her inferiority, to show all the beauty and complexity of her worldview through sounds, smells... Amazing!

About Kerem: He's different in this film. I haven't seen him like this anywhere else. Soft, minor, but also very sensual and deep!!! Not one hug, not one kiss, but how he conveys that love has entered his life, not tactile, but on the level of accepting the inner world of Eflatun - a seemingly completely blind world, but full of the colors of music, songs, smells and associations. Magic...

The movie has so many beautiful frames with Kerem's hands, eyes, there is no emphasis on muscularity and brutality. The focus is on the eyes, lips, hands. And of course on the voice!!!

I understand that this film is not for the general public, but for those who understand and feel love at the level of communication, words, half-eyes....

This movie has a very serious social message. There are "other" people living next to us. But how cleverly they cook food, clean the house, navigate a new space, work, learn, love, hear things we miss. It seems to us that these people need "help." But the Director of the film shows us through the example of Eflatun, who teaches Oflaz (i.e. Not vice versa), that their capabilities are unique.

Two eternal questions of life are touched upon: whether we are the masters of our own destiny, or everything is predetermined in the world and not accidental?

Regardless of awards this film hasn't won or has already won in various International Movie Festivals, for me, this man with a universal soul - Director Cüneyt Karakus, has already received his Grand Prize. To see the problem of society in such a way, to nurture the idea for many years, to choose so perfectly the actors, musicians, animators! Bravo!
