Gomeda

I was waiting for this movie to open for a long time and I finally saw it this weekend. I was absolutely amazed at how intelligent and inspiring this film is. The story takes us on a surreal journey and it's full of pleasant but extraordinary vignettes. This film will challenge its audience because it treats its audience with respect, unlike other recent Turkish thrillers that rely on cheap scares and superficial stories. The director is Tan Tolga Demirci, the set design is by Kaan Guresci, cinematography is by Ilker Berke and music is by Semih Tareen. These four people did an amazing job, all these elements, direction, images, music seemed to be in perfect harmony. They were the best I've seen from Turkish cinema, since 'Distant" by Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Already this film has created quite a controversy, people either hate it and shun it or love it and talk about it and discuss it for hours. I absolutely loved it!! GOMEDA is fresh blood for Turkish cinema.

An amazing experience for the Turkish cinema. Some hates and condemns it some loves it. After Gomeda, Turkish audience will be a little more open minded about new ideas in cinema, since the recent movies mostly were the same in terms of the storyline, actors and the low quality with cheap belly dancing involved music. I guess these factors are somehow entertaining for some people and nobody criticizes them. But Gomeda increased the future expectations from Turkish cinema. The movie is not trying to create a sympathy with the audience to get appreciated, just like an artist doing his art for the sake of art, not according to the people's needs. Gomeda has nothing to do with anything cliché and it enhances its audiences' imagination limits. Very well done.

I watched Gomeda on movie theater at my city. My friend took away me and I was really curious what would be it looked like. Well, I must say This movie was not a horror,may be we can say that is 'Fantsastic experimentation'...OK here I go anyway... But there was a lot of shooting,acting,dramatic,theatrical and storytelling problems.I can understand because of director is very young and Gomeda is his first feature film.OK Directing of this film was not pretty bad,I see.Unfortunately, due to the restraints placed on the film by its extremely low budget, the visuals are often as murky as the storyline.And there is no powerful Gothic scenes.As a horror movie it really fails, no scares at all and it is quite muddled and boring. Some people say 'Gomeda' is an art movie, but I could not see a laughable,terrible and breoken off art movie like that.So, how can we say it is an art movie!Just funny!

Gomeda is a type of movie that you observe deep in thought and you want to see it again in order not to miss any little bit that may bring new ideas to ardent conversations about it. The set design was spellbinding, the acting had some flows but nevertheless was successful. The creativity that had crossed the director's mind during the stage of screenplay amazes me.The movie was enhanced with the secrets of subconsciousness and numerous surreal meanings. Although it has never been advertised as a horror movie, it's unjustly criticised for not being scary at all. As far as I could see the director and the actors have talked about this surrealist fantastic movie on the TV many times. Negative criticisms from many people are only expressed with at most 4 words consisting at least one F word. If there is negative criticism, the reasons of the negativity should be explained, otherwise these ideas will never be taken seriously and in the end these people not being able to write a complete sentence will have to be ignored.. I very much liked the movie all in all and I can say that this movie deserves to take its place in cinema books.

This movie is unique, I was browsing the comments and I don't believe people claiming that it had Cliché scenes? You either have no idea what a cliché is or you're clearly lying about the movie. Gomeda is one of the most unique movies, the scenes and the screenplay are both so original and creative that I myself being a movie freak and as a cinema student have never seen such scenes requiring an amazing imagination and also experience and education. Its originality distinguishes it from the other Cliché movies where you just watch and do not need to use your brain at all. I know people seeing the movie 3 times and still giving a thought to its original scenes which finally gives the audience a chance to think.Thinking after watching a movie is something that we unfortunately are not used at all. The movie takes you to journey as if you're asleep and dreaming nightmares and it makes you to leave your social role and touches the hidden parts of the human thought. it's time to learn and appreciate some beautiful art.Perfect, just perfect.
