Eflatun

Independent Turkish production, whose theatrical release after excellent reviews and awards at several international festivals, has finally been announced in Turkey for next March 29, 2024.

It is important to highlight the excellent performance of its two main protagonists Eflatun and Olaf.

Kerem Bursin internationally recognized and admired actor in the role of Olaf alongside Irem Helvacioglu in the role of Eflatun.

The plot revolves around love combined with the sensations and feelings that human beings are capable of perceiving far beyond the feeling of sight and therefore the physical appearance, simply from a tone of voice.

A priori there is no doubt that this is a really interesting and different argument.

It is very important to highlight how difficult it is in today's film industry for an independent production to be released without the support of any production company.

Eflatun has been able to achieve this Congratulations.

The film is measured, unhurried, you have time to comprehend the plot. There are pauses between dialogues and in such pauses you leaten to silence, or some natural sounds: if the characters are in a watch workshop, you can hear the clock running; if they are on the sea shore, you hear the sound of the surf, but all these sounds are soft and unobtrusive.

The sound of rain...- there is a separate story related to rainy days and umbrellas. Music and sounds represent key aspects in the story and in the life of Eflatun (the main women character).

Both actors play great and no one hogs the blanket. Everything is very calm, without quarrels and scandals. Kerem Bursin here acts in a completely new image. When I watched the movie I did not see Kerem and totally believed he was Oflaz.

The movie makes you want to watch it a second time, it makes you think. And definitely recommend to watch Eflatun on the big screen (if you have a chance).

Cuneyt Karakus (the Director of the film) told what motivated him to make this story and the actors magnificently embodied in this movie his feelings, emotions, his inner world.

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.

The film Eflatun is a high-quality, "tasty" festival movie. The Director Cüneyt Karakus, who wrote the script, was inspired for creation of Eflatun by a meeting with a visually impaired man on the street. He offered to help him, but to his shame (by his own admission) he realized that he didn't know how to behave with that man. Cüneyt Karakus dedicated this movie to all people with disabilities.

The main emphasis in the film is made on details and seemingly insignificant little things. The Director especially emphasizes sounds, smells and imagination

Kerem Bürsin playing Oflaz in this movie is again quite different than in other his works. He hardly laughed, seemed detached and lost. Meeting with Eflatun changed him, or on the contrary, reminded him of what he once was. Oflaz "showed" Eflatun a different world, as I thought he reminded her of her father, with whom she had special relationships.

Several times I held back tears, the play of Kerem (one love) and Irem (bravo), touched the most delicate strings of the soul, and of course, at the end I could not resist.

It would seem to be a classic plot, the meeting of a guy and a girl, but the aftertaste of watching this film is felt like warmth inside, as from a cup of hot chocolate on a cold day.

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!
