Incendies (2010)
A glitch in the play
A nice movie by Mr. Villeneuve. I think there was a glitch in the scenario towards the end of the movie that I'd like to point to it.
We, alongside the twins, discover that Abu Tarek is the same as Nihad. But Nawal doesn't know that. She never knew that until she died. She just identified the son in the swimming pool. that was all. However, in the letter to the son, she signs as prisoner no. 72 which given that the son doesn't know anything about the prison story, that signature is senseless.
La piel que habito (2011)
plot could be improved
The main story of the movie is what Robert does to Vincent but we are distracted by some marginal stories that I believe they could be eliminated without much hurt to the plot and instead spend more time on Vera/Robert relations.
From the moment that Robert starts to trust Vera, a question rises that is Vera trustable or she will revenge from Robert. But this suspension lasts very small amount (i think like 15 min in the movie) while if the marginal stories of the plot (such as tiger relations with Robert wife) which takes a lot of time from story, was eliminated, there would be more time to build on the suspension of Vera/Robert relationship.
Ahlat Agaci (2018)
repeating the awesome experience of Winter Sleep
I remember very well the night I watched Winter Sleep in cinema. The movie was 3+ hrs and once it finished, I didn't notice at all we have spent 3 hrs watching. I could easily go more. That night experience is one the sweetest experiences that I ever had with Cinema. I was hoping to repeat the same experience and damn it again happened.
The movie is story of a graduated guy that returns to his village. He wants to be writer. He has a once respected but now gambler father that is the reason of shame for him. He hates the village and all the people there. He wishes even to destroy there. The movie is the story of relationship of a son and father. Father as symbol of identity of the son. The feeling of moving on from your own identity and yet sill being stuck in it. Sinan hates his father but at the same time pities him. He wishes he could move on. At the end of movie Sinan realizes that the father is the wisest and sees himself in father.
The father is the wild pear tree and so the Sinan.
Bilge Ceylan was photographer and you can find amazing pictures in his movie. The scene that is taken from high and they are driving the truck in snow is amazing.
The movie has some masterpiece scenes such as Sinan encounter with Hatice. The way their chat goes and twists to a erotic end, mix with the winds that splashes Hatice hair is so well made.
