Review of Egg (2007) by Ali M — 01 Sep 2008
The style of film-making of Yumurta (especially the opening scene) recalls Andrei Tarkovksy or according to some people Robert Bresson. I agree with this, even if I think that there is a wide gap between Egg and Tarkovsky's masterworks. Before starting, I want to use the classic clause: Pleasure is subjective. I prefer quiet films in drama the genre. A quiet movie with long takes makes me charmed. I haven't been bored even a second, in contrast, it has been like a very reposeful therapy for me. In other words, Egg is flowing movie in the extreme.
The number of the dialogs is few, because there is a lack of communication between Yusuf and Ayla, but absolutely it does not mean that the screenplay is weak or poor because the screenplay, to be more precise, Semih Kaplanoglu tries to mean that there is lack of communication between people and you decide this is something bad or something should be sometimes.
