Filmmaker Rodrigo Sorogoyen takes an epic, elliptical approach to intimate material that could’ve been exploitative, but is instead deeply humane.

You’ve Laughed at ‘Borat,’ Now Watch These Five Films from Kazakhstan
Sacha Baron Cohen’s outrageous 2006 comedy “Borat,” about a fictional Kazakhstani reporter traveling through United States, put the Central Asian nation in the consciousness of most Americans for the first time. Back then, Kazakhstan’s government had an understandable reaction to the comedian’s crude and stereotypical portrayal of the ex-Soviet republic. Now, 16 years later, with…

The Human Voice Review
Acclaimed director Pedro Almodóvar’s latest The Human Voice – a short but sharp film adaptation of the theatre production of the same name – hinges on its central performance. Lucky for him then that he has Tilda Swinton fronting this (almost) one-woman show. Because it’s Swinton’s whirlwind turn that really sells this off-kilter tale of […]

GUGUK KUŞU
Tutuklu olduğu cezaevinden kurtulmak için, deli taklidi yaparak akıl hastanesine yatırılan McMurphy’nin, hastanenin hemşiresi Ratched ile olan çatışmalarını anlatıyor. Filmin akışı, görüntüler ve verdiği duygular o kadar hissedilir şekildeydi ki; bazen heyecanlanıyor, bazen duygulanıyordum. Oldukça eğlenceli oluşu da cabası. Filmde McMurphy karakterinin ilerleyişi de oldukça etkiliydi. Umursamaz ve hastalarla alay ederek başlayan hikaye, onların bir […]
