I liked Semih Kaplanoglu's last film "Melegin Dususu" which had a really great performance by Tulin Ozen. However, his latest film "Yumurta" goes absolutely nowhere.
Nejat Isler is a very charismatic actor who can command the screen as we have seen in "Barda", but in this film he is given little to do other than stare into space. There is very little dialog and even that is stilted and boring. This can't hold a candle to the greatness of last year's Golden Orange winner "Kader". There are few redeeming qualities about the film, namely the cinematography and soundtrack. Otherwise this is a real letdown.
