A mesmerizing movie...
24 February 2013
2,5 hours... Wish the movie was even longer, wish I had the chance to walk into that screen and live in that movie together.

Visually it did remind me of Gladiator due to amazing scenery and La vita e Bella due to colors and era. But as a whole it was something else, something touching, heart breaking and still full of humor. If I need to explain it with one word, it was poetic in each and every moment.

Life of 3 poets. One very well known and experienced and two young and talented. A friendship that is bond with life and death. It should be really hard to capture it all but Yilmaz Erdogan did a great job as a director and actor. Two young poets, Kivanc Tatlitug and Mert Firat just makes you feel each and every moment of their life, their pain and their happiness so perfectly.

I plan to see it again at the theater and keep telling the people that it deserves a chance at the film festivals around the world.
