Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

cgyford Controversial German-Turkish filmmaker Faith Akin followed the critical success of his debut feature "Short Sharp Shock" and cemented his popular appeal with this cute rom-com that takes its protagonists from downtown Hamburg to the banks of the Bosporus in Istanbul that proved a successful sophomore feature.Prolific German actor Moritz Bleibtreu makes a likable lead and generates great chemistry with the über-cute Christiane Paul as his sometime love interest whilst excellent support comes from the charming Mehmet Kurtulus at the head of a quirky supporting cast that includes the ephemeral İdil Üner, the insane Branka Katić and a brief appearance from Akin himself.The accomplished filmmaker employs all the standard clichés in this run-of-the-mill road movie that is lifted to a whole new level by a diverse and talented cast and crew who put there passion for film-making onto the screen in a way that has long since deserted the Hollywood factory.Hey, we got a long way to go, man.

asenkron Im Juli,as a Faith Akin production,it must be seen by the people who question that "how to find right person".This film shows us that a girl or boy who we never think to date could be most special person in the world.In the other words,in contrast to Daniel looking for love in far away,Romeo or Juliet may be close as a car seat.Daniel goes thousands of kilometers for the sake of love that he believe her as right person.The ring that Juli sold to Daniel is the sign of Juli's hope for love to him.But this expectation disappears in front of the bar that Juli hope to see Daniel there.Certainly She sees him there but with a girl who let the story starts.The facts that based on characters Melek,Daniel,Juli and İsa are significant.No comment more,just watch it without hesitating...

jotix100 This sunny German film was a complete surprise. In fact, it's one of the best things that we have seen from that country in a while, which proves that when a talent like Mr. Akin is at the helm, one must rush to see whatever he decides to present for us.In fact, the beginning of the film is kind of disorienting. We are thinking one way, and suddenly we are taken back to another time and another situation involving Daniel. We saw him in the lonely road where Isa happens to be taking on his way home to Turkey. Right after he has been left behind, we meet him again in different circumstances as he is teaching math to a group of inattentive students who are preparing for their summer vacations.Daniel, after meeting Juli, buys a Mayan sun ring that she promises will let him meet a woman who will have a ring to match his, that same night, and that woman will be his true love. When sees the lovely and exotic Melek, who is wearing a tee shirt with what appears to be another Mayan sun, he believes the prophesy has come true. Melek, who is traveling to Turkey tells him about how she is going to wait under a bridge for the man who is destined for her. Daniel is so taken with this beautiful creature that he decides to follow her all the way to Istanbul. The only problem is that in taking to the road, Daniel discovers himself and gets to meet his true love at the end.The film is made more enjoyable by Mortiz Bleibtreu's work in it. This young actor has a face that registers all the emotions running through him at the time. He makes the movie work because of his intelligent approach to the role. Equally charismatic is Christiana Paul, who plays Juli. Lovely Idil Uner is seen as Melek and Mehmet Kurtulus is Isa and Branke Katic plays Luna.The film is a road movie that shows some beautiful European countryside and byways as the trip progresses from Germany to its end in Istanbul. Mr. Akin has directed with great panache as he involves us, the viewers, into this fun trip.

tjk_sh_826 A romantic story happened in July,about a girl named also July,seeking his love towards Daniel Bannier(Moritz Bleibtreu) who was a school teacher and get the feeling at the first sight.July sold her strange ring to Daniel in order praying for a love and blessing herself falling in love with Daniel.Each of us has the expectation on a romantic story could actually occurs to ourselves,like Daniel and July,even along with sharing the identical experience with the actors.Faith Akin cite a flashback as a beginning to take the audience into the movie,but filled with a little unbelievable coincidence.Daniel is a normal school teacher,but the things changed after met Melek(Idil Üner),who would come back to Turkey soon.Daniel was attracted by her and decided to go to Turkey to meet her again with a strong emotion begun with the destination from Hamburg to Istanbul.July love Daniel very much that makes the reason for becoming his travel accompanier.Faith Akin reasonably arranged the long story between Daniel and July through the whole episode.We can easily get the conclusion of the Romance pix,both actor being a couple in the end,but the point of this kind of movie is the process,Faith Akin delivers his story by making an unbelievable trip across several borders that helps to pave the way for the couples,that's an another excellent and novel tactic used in the romance movie.I generally accept it.Rating(7/10)
