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.

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!

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.
