Gomeda (2007)
one of the best Turkish films of the new generation
I was waiting for this movie to open for a long time and I finally saw it this weekend. I was absolutely amazed at how intelligent and inspiring this film is. The story takes us on a surreal journey and it's full of pleasant but extraordinary vignettes. This film will challenge its audience because it treats its audience with respect, unlike other recent Turkish thrillers that rely on cheap scares and superficial stories. The director is Tan Tolga Demirci, the set design is by Kaan Guresci, cinematography is by Ilker Berke and music is by Semih Tareen. These four people did an amazing job, all these elements, direction, images, music seemed to be in perfect harmony. They were the best I've seen from Turkish cinema, since 'Distant" by Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Already this film has created quite a controversy, people either hate it and shun it or love it and talk about it and discuss it for hours. I absolutely loved it!! GOMEDA is fresh blood for Turkish cinema.
