I must say this is not my favorite Woody Allen movie.
Every work is different of course but is very weak, especially compared to match point which I think is a masterpiece. Also Vicky, Cristina! Barcelona was an epic movie showing how Allen has always been ahead of his time. Funny enough he, himself plays in from Rome with Love, exactly as an artist (in opera production business).
You can still see that your watching a Woody Allen movie. It's his quirkiness, unexpected twists, parallel stories... It's all the elements characteristic to his style- what it lacks is the dire shock! Think ending of the match point, the intense encounters of Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona. There is nothing as remarkable as these scenes in his latest movie. Maybe it didn't have to have. It's a love story at the end of the day- at least three to be more precise. Well you can't be precise though. Everyone who watches this movie will have a separate interpretations of the stories.
There are the obvious relationships and their not so honest extrapolations but there are also sub stories of loving and fake admirations towards celebrities, there is also the stories of the love between son and father, love towards art and architecture, love towards work- love of life at the end of the day.
Hmm when I look at at like this, maybe this wasn't a bad movie after all. Ok it gets a 7 from me.
Enjoy the movie, Gorkem

I was very fortunate that EYE Film Museum Amsterdam ran this movie during the Turkish Beat festival. Must say that I really really loved this movie. It is the sort of movie keeps you thinking within a couple days after you watch it. And I'm not talking gets you thinking out of not understanding the story but more like wanting to really know what is really "behind the hill".
The story take place in a remote village in East of Turkey where a family with complicated internal relationships constantly struggle with the villagers on the other side of the hill. You never see them but you only see their actions- or the actions that are attributed to them. From the start to the end, it's all wrapped with tensions of the unknown and how the villagers find ways to deal with them.
I do want to write so much more but I hate the spoiler reviews so I will leave it at this. For all I know, I still am not sure what was behind the hill.
