Everything about this film is beautiful. It's been sitting on my shelf for years, just waiting for me to watch it. Shameful to say, but true. Really glad I popped it in my DVD player today. The cinematography is unbelievable. A dazzling display of Parisian streetlife and the Turkish countryside. The director did a great job of telling this coming of age story without letting it get too cliche-y. It's 2hrs filled of life lessons about religion, sex, and family which leaves you feeling like you are much wiser than 2hrs earlier. Shaping the film with kick-ass 60s and 70s music definitely enhanced the beauty of the scenes. I especially like the last song by Timmy Thomas, "Why Can't We Live Together," over the closing credits. Rating - Do yourself a huge favor and watch this film. Saturday, September 11, 2010
