The Blue Exile poster
4.6

Mavi Sürgün is a fictionalized account of one period of the life of a Turkish journalist who was condemned to exile for an article he wrote in 1925. He turned his punishment into a reward by creating a little paradise in what is today the holiday resort, Bodrum. In fact he is considered by some to be the first ecologist. The film concentrates on this latter aspect of his character and through flashbacks portrays the inner turmoil of a man who is trying to come to terms with his past. The slow pace is somewhat of a drawback, the flashbacks are often confusing and the protagonist is not always very convincing. But the photography of the country side is exceptional Kenan Ormanlar and the short appearance by a very theatrical Hanna Schygulla of Fassbinder fame adds a little spice to the drama.

Time of Death poster

A woman... A man... Two people on the brink of death... Perhaps two people who would never meet, or even if they did, would pass each other by like ships in the fog, never seeing each other... Two separate worlds... Two separate histories... But now 'yesterday' is behind them, and they have met in death. And at the point where death's rules, words, and obstacles have been erased, they have set out to discover life. They shared fear, friendship, anger, and love. Who knows, perhaps even love... This was a life without a tomorrow. That's why "today" was so precious. A woman: Ela... A man: Ömer... They truly lived on the brink of death...
