Neat movie but…
‘Bal’ is an interesting Turkish drama with inspiration on European cinema and they really managed to make it look European.Overall, it’s a neat movie, with no unpleasant surprises and nothing offensive or questionable. Interesting it is, but could be a little more involving. It’s a touching story but moves very slowly, maybe too much for its own good. However, the biggest problem is that it lacks something, perhaps more soul and emotion. Also, it is much too repetitive, with way too many scenes which nothing special happens, most scenes are basically more of the same, many of which show nothing but the boy walking very slowly and looking around empty rooms. Much of it is pretty silent, as there are few dialogs.
There is beautiful cinematography and settings.
The little boy of the film, Yusuf, is quite cute and the actor who portrays him (Bora Atlas) does a fine job but he must have felt awfully bored with this role, as it prevents him from doing so much he could do. The boy in the film must be one of the shyest children I’ve ever seen in a movie. He is very very quiet and calm, talks very little but seems to suffer from a serious lack of ability to read. You can tell he’s feeling awful for not being able to read properly but he can’t help it.
A reasonable movie but not as remarkable as it should be. I enjoyed it but something’s missing.
