İlk izlediğimde o kadar nefret ettim ki bu filmden. Hatta bi yanım hala delilerce nefret ediyor Godard’ın kendini beğenmiş erkekliğinden ama ilk bakışta göze çarpan seksizmin öfkesi geçince, toplumsal eleştirilerindeki inceliğe ve ustalığa göz yummak da kolay olmuyor. Gerçekten çok ince çok zekice ve çok orjinal. Ufak bi zekilik bile beni çok heyecanlandırır ve düşündükçe üslubunu […]
Masculın Femının, Jean Luc Godard, 1967
Y tu mama También. Y tu mama También. Okunuşu ne güzel. Ispanyolcanın güzelliğini unutmuştum, o baskın i’lerle bağrışlarla çağırışlarla yeniden hatırladım şimdi. Hikayesi de öyle, canlı, hareketli çok yükseliyor, duygular çok yoğunlaşıyor. Karakterleri gibi toy başlayıp olgunlaşan ve sonunda buruk biten bir film. Zaten bütün iyi gençlik filmleri biraz buruk olmak zorunda aslında. Bu konuyla ile ilgili […]
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 5 out of 5. The beauty of black-and-white cinema is undeniable, yet it’s largely ignored by the new generation who seemingly don’t even want to watch a film that’s over five years old. This is why films like “The Artist” or David Fincher’s “Mank” serve as a reminder that even the entire spectrum […]
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. We are always amazed when we see a beautiful family passing by. Their charm, ease, self-control, and readiness to share happiness with others is enviable. And their financial success serves as the cherry on top of the cake when they leave their houses. But what happens when the same […]
Film Review: “The Nest” (2020)

There is no doubt that DNA plays a significant role in shaping the character of a person, while proper nurturing is like organic food – it has a positive impact on building up an important foundation in a […]
Film Review: “Let Him Go” (2020)
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. There is no such promise that life will be easy. Nothing is presented on a silver platter for us. Each opportunity must be earned and even worked hard for. Sadly, when hardship hits the younger generation, they forget about everything not realizing that this is a temporary obstacle they […]
Film Review: “The Life Ahead” (2020)
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. We never understand the true value of our unique ability to see, hear, and smell the scent of life. And we can’t even imagine what one goes through when the ability to hear suddenly begins to disappear. Reuben (Riz Ahmed) is a drummer who travels across the state along […]
Film Review: “Sound of Metal” (2019)
Ne enterasan ve garip bir yılı geride bırakmaya hazırlanıyoruz değil mi? Hiç tahmin etmeyeceğimiz yeni alışkanlıklar, terimler girdi hayatımıza. Umarım daha güzel günler göreceğimiz yeni bir yıl olur hepimiz için. Dizi dünyası için de bu beklenmedik olaylar farklı etkiler yarattı. Ertelenen setler/çekimler, anlık olarak değişen yayın takvimleri. Evet belki beklenenin altında ilerleyen bir sonbahar sezonuna […]
Ayın Dizileri: 1-31 Aralık 2020
A weird one… I wrote about RECREATION already — this Keystone park film didn’t seem much different from a half-dozen others, and it survives in a form most uneven and considerably more ragged than most. As so often at Keystone, Chaplin makes valuable discoveries in one short (THE FACE ON THE BARROOM FLOOR) only to […]
The Sunday Intertitle: Charlie as Chaplin or Chaplin as Charlie?
In 1968, there were dreamers, and Giorgio Rosa wasn’t the only one, but he’s the man we’re going follow today, all the way to Rose Island. Actually, in 1968 there was no Rose Island as Giorgio (Elio Germano) hadn’t built it yet. But he’s about to. He’s an engineer, a creator, and a thinker. And […]
Éric Rohmer 1971’de kendisiyle yapılan bir röportajda¹, “Filmlerim tamamen kurgu eserlerdir, sosyolog olduğumu iddia etmiyorum (…) Sadece kendim icat ettiğim belirli vakaları alıyorum, bunlar bilimsel değildir, hayal ürünüdürler” der. Ancak en fantastik olanından en korkunç olanına kadar her film, içinde mutlaka toplumsal bir gerçeklik barındırır. Film ile izleyici arasında bağ kuran da bu gerçeğe yakın…

European Film Award Winners: ‘Another Round,’ Mads Mikkelsen, Paula Beer, and More
I’m still seeing blurry from crying because I felt that I related to Allen Ginsberg’s soul. I am not sure that I am a fan of his poetry style, but I understood generally, and more than Leaves of Grass for that matter, what he was talking about because I knew “the lingo” and I […]

TV Binge: Detective Chinatown (唐人街探案, 2020)
This wasn’t an easy year to make a first feature, but there was no shortage of debuts worthy of celebration.
Actually watching this movie turned out to be something of an adventure. I had it on a streaming service, but when I paused it about halfway through and then returned to it, it was gone. (Evidently the streaming service happened by coincidence to drop it from its service at just that time.) That necessitated finding […]
I think the first mention of this title was in a television broadcast of some kind. I then found it on Netflix and decided why not. At least I knew I was not in for a series. And because I am a very sensitive person, I could not help, actually cry, twice while viewing […]
Since I started seeing advertising for this title, I have been wanting to see it. I just love a magical, witchy story. Signing up for HBOMax be damned; besides, I could probably get away with a week free and cancel before the week is up. It’s part of my new attitude: I can’t take my money with […]
