If you are sad that summer is over, now you can move on to the stage of rejoicing, as culture and art events are back on the market.. For example, for us, the beginning of this process is usually Filmekimi.. I do not accept that the summer is over until the filmekimi period comes, the questions “do you think you can go out with shorts in this weather”, the insistence of “I’m wearing a denim jacket is enough” continue.. With the announcement of the Filmekimi program towards the end of September, we return to reality and adapt to the cold days of Istanbul.. Worst of all, we haven’t been able to pass by Filmekimi for the last 2 years, as October is a wonderful time for travel.. However, this year we are ready for Filmekimi 2016, maybe we will not be able to enter a crazy marathon, but we will not forgive 4-5 films that we have caught our eye.
If you have the opportunity to go to a lot of movies or have time problems, this year Below we will summarize a few of the films that we have eyed within the scope of Filmimi 2016, which will be held between 7-16 October, you can make an audition.. Then we criticize together. Have a good day, dear reader!
1. Toni Erdmann
You have many reasons to want to watch Toni Erdmann, which is probably one of the most popular films of the festival.. The film, which not only made a great impression at the Cannes Film Festival, but also attracted attention with its high score from the critics (we think it is the highest score of the last 10 years), is the story of a father who does not fit the classic father type, is against the system, is at war with the capitalist world. describes his relationship with his daughter, in her 30s, who, unlike her father, is a career-focused woman.. If the way we’ve told the movie’s story has given the wrong impression, let’s wrap it up: It’s a comedy movie.
2. Julieta
Two words put together are enough for us to be enthusiastic about watching this movie: Pedro Almodovar. Look, there are very few people you can fall in love with even though they look like an “aged pineapple” and if you were to make a list of people with this feature, you would put our Pedro at the top.. If you like Almodovar a little bit, you can foresee the possibility of Julieta being a woman’s story again.. Right guess. Continuing with your strongest point. 20 of the director of the film. Let’s add that there is a movie. Don’t worry too much about tickets, if we can’t watch because of you, we’ll break up.
3. A Monster Calls
A movie that everyone is eagerly waiting for, a story and İdil, who are also included in this community. A Monster Calls is both fantastic and emotional.. (If you want to see how the two are together, just watch the trailer) Our main character is Connor, a little boy.. Yes, you can guess that there is a monster, since it is a fantastic movie, but this time things are a little different.. Unable to accept his mother’s illness, Connor makes a deal with a giant tree-shaped monster.. We give Connor credit because Liam Neeson voices the beast. You know, “He will find you and he will kill you”. We have full confidence in the beast. But we are already ready to be tearful.
4. American Honey
Let’s face it, even if we are 88 years old, we will always love watching American youth themed movies.. But we can all agree that it’s not easy to find a quality American youth-themed movie.. American Honey seems to solve this problem.. The film, which tells what happens to the typical troubled American teenager Star, who is included in a group that sells magazine subscriptions (of course, it will not be such a normal, master group) seems quite gripping.. Shia LaBeouf, one of the weirdest guys to come out recently, is among the lead roles in the movie, so be prepared.
5. I, Daniel Blake
Filmekimi, the film that won Ken Loach the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, is considered one of the most ambitious films of 2016.. One of the top directors of addressing the problems of the working class and breaking through the corrupt system, Loach, I, tells the story of a carpenter in Daniel Blake, who is unable to work due to his health condition but has to look for a job because he cannot receive state aid due to the distortion of the system.. It’s time to get back to reality, dear audience.. Go to this.
6. It’s Only The End Of The World
The time has come for those who want to engage in a new dialogue on Xavier Dolan’s age and the success of his films.. And what if we say Vincent Cassel? And Lea Seydoux? What about Marion Cotillard? (Brad Pitt would have gone even if you didn’t like it….kipsss ) Putting our magazine perspective aside, we’ll invite you to watch the trailer, because humor aside, the acting looks amazing even in a short 1 minute 36 second glance! The film focuses on a writer in his 30s reuniting with his family, whom he hasn’t seen for years, and their relationship.
7. The Age of Shadows
We don’t know if crime lovers and South Korean cinema lovers come together at an intersection, but we were very curious about this movie.. The film focuses on an espionage story set in Korea, which was under Japanese occupation in the 20s.. However, one of the main reasons that attracted our attention is that it was watched by 4 million people in 10 days in South Korea and broke the box office record.. I guess we won’t miss it by saying that’s all.
8. Swiss Army Man
It’s a very strange movie, my friends.. It looks so weird that even though we are people who can’t stand Daniel Radcliffe in even a single movie after Harry Potter and feel like they’re going to say “alohomora” every time they see him, we’re all sick if we don’t get a ticket to this movie.. The movie takes a very interesting turn when a man who has lost all hope and is determined to commit suicide, finds a body washed up on a desert island.. Because this corpse (our Harry Potter) can talk and has some supernatural abilities.. Frankly, the trailer of the movie is so absurd that it gave us the impression: Either they’re going to make us watch something ridiculous about the art film, or something wonderful will come out.. It’s like giving the first possibility a chance, hoping it won’t come true.
9. The Net
While we’re in South Korean cinema, do you think we’ll pass without mentioning Kim Ki-duk? We are still the people who suddenly feel the “Empty House” in the background while writing, we don’t feed Kim Ki-duk, we watch it running, even if he makes a new movie.. This time it is a film with a slightly more political content.. Moreover, it touches on a subject that many people may be wondering about: the issue of North Korea & South Korea.. The film tells the story and experiences of a North Korean fisherman who finds himself in South Korea because his boat’s engine broke down.
