      island

      Full of luggage empty and
      fleeing the isolated island to go to the
      distant place, but the people from far away are in their hometown

      , far away, far away,
      in other places,

      the sea is turbulent
      , the sea is always in the sea, the

      sky is full of sunshine
      , it rises
      at dawn, and the sky disappears in the night,
      the sky covers the earth and the
      sky The dirty mouse in the sky
       
      is struggling to
      die and can't let go...

      This movie is sleepy to watch, but it has stamina

      This is probably the film I've seen with the least soundtrack, the most fixed shots, and the most long shots. . . . . .

      It is a simple story, but the director expresses a lot of other meanings with the camera through details, silence and dialogue.

      The vulgar boredom of unplanned unemployed people in the future is reflected in stalking women. The feeling of being unattainable is the inner humiliation of every person who feels that life has not achieved what they want but cannot do...

      We all have gaps

      Far Away: The third part of the Turkish director's hometown of Ceylon trilogy. The film won the jury prize at the 56th Cannes Film Festival in 2003, starring Muzafi Oldmore and Emin Toprak, who were both non-professionals, and won the best actor of the year. It is said that the film's Emin Toprak died tragically on December 2, 2002. Two days before the car accident, "Distant" had just finished filming. Recalling the two non-professional actors, Ceylon said that Muzafi Odmer was an old friend he...

      Far away, 7 points. Honey, 8 points. Universe, 9 points.

      Far away, 7 points. Honey, 8 points. Universe, 9 points. I am no stranger to Turkish cinema due to the Turkish Film Festival at Broadway Cinematheque, and in 2011 I wrote a micro-review of every screened film.

      It's not that Far Away is not good enough, but that there are Turkish films that are better than it.

      Let’s talk about why the distance is 1 point higher than Paradise Cinema. Just like looking at pictures of beautiful women, I hate to see that the pictures have been...

      "The Distance" by Nuri Big Ceylon

      I look into the distance now, what is the distance? It is the sea with turbulent dark tides, the gray city, the happy laughter of others, and the silence after the heavy snow... The two male protagonists always look into the distance, but the farthest distance is indeed in people's hearts.

      A friend...

      The film deals with the delicate relationship between relatives, host and guests. From the first contact, the subsequent interaction, and the final contradiction, it is gradual and makes people feel...

      All parsing is unnecessary, when can I stop being a silent stalker. In addition, I seem to hear the main melody in An Zhe's film, or my illusion, a few bars of string music, and then covertly disappear behind the...

      Time is the distance. It's hard to imagine that the brothers who were watching the movie would sit down and watch the old tower together. In fact, it's also difficult to sit down and watch the movie together. After the time has passed, we have grown up and our mood has changed. Before reaching the distance is always a romantic word. Before my cousin got on the bus, he may have been looking forward to his cousin's hospitality and the opportunity of a big city countless times, but when he really...

He clearly outlined the state of existence of urbanites in the modern and post-modern context. This is through It is achieved by using film language to highlight the differences between the two protagonists. The meditative nature of the film and the tense...
