What Does This Is A Over Night Flight

Review: Honey



Density & Beauty

As part of a trilogy that began with "Egg", which was followed by "milk" and preceded by the recent prestigious Golden Bear at Berlin (festival, which always seems to have pretty good taste), comes to the screen (without being released yet in our country the first two mentioned above) this interesting film nonetheless interesting Turkish director Semih Kaplanoglu.

The film tells the story of a boy of 6 years in a rural area and detail involved. The imagination, desires, fears or their own children's curiosities Yusuf focus the world on a journey into the unknown where many everyday situations will be novel, sometimes terribly sad and most strange. Yusuf
admires his father, collecting honey and inevitably will mark their lives forever.

Accompanied by a splendid chiaroscuro photograph of focus all the attention and illuminate the diverse landscapes at other times the film so remarkable, "Honey" is expressed as a deep and thoughtful contemplative study of the life of Yusuf, through several passages. Each and every one of these passages have a purpose and be part of a mechanized set of narrative structures that, while focusing the interest at the beginning of the film, eventually wrapping it in a certain density that prevents the fluidity developed with to gain attention steadily.

Interest, inevitable, for the future of Yusuf, is achieved and the strength of a narrative of remarkable high proportion influences and allow the film runs almost always in a plane and get invoice doubt that photographic art, silence imaginative and beautiful frames are based argument with the freedom to form a film that may well be considered a perfect finale to a trilogy that is set in a very original in reverse narrative.

Kaplanoglu culminates an extensive work of a remarkable quality to this film, that while infiltrated by surprise as the winner in Berlin, has gradually been gaining the applause and respect of who has approached her.

A risky proposition, but always with the snap of the quality that sometimes although the density does not allow us to contemplate the beauty of the forest.
