188 minutes … I’d usually say that’s about 88 minutes too long, but will make an exception in this case since I liked this one … admittedly I watched it at 1.5x ffwd since it’s in Turkish anyway and I’m reading the subtitles … this is a cerebral movie, not for the masses … it’s funny and sad and sort of maddening, I liked it a lot, can’t exactly say why (something about an alienated poor boy with artistic ambitions, maybe) .. it’s about growing up, and accepting your flawed parents (father specifically), and “coming to terms with one's place in society,“ as one critic wrote. What’s fantasy and what’s reality? A movie to watch again for sure.

This is a green-go, but only for the select few who can handle it intellectually.

I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to go to sleep with you.
