Absurdistan (2008)
10/10
Excellent poetic tale
29 November 2010
A very refreshing scenario, for children as well as grown-ups, out of a rare realization build-up. Marvelous interpretation of the kind. The direction is a topmost in buffoonery and lightness in the gags. The message is a simple tale, but it makes it possible to run through most of essential human relationships. To be seen, absolutely. A gem, a jewel. It is one of the first Turkish movie I have ever seen but it is definitely worth seeing. It reminds me of old Italian movie making in the fifties, but with a much higher emotional tone, much less seriousness. Of course some of the scenes would need some better physics to make more sense or be more realistic, but this is absolutely not the purpose of the film. It relies on absurdity to make us feel totally enjoyed with the message.
