Uzak (2002)
an hour after view it....
I am still transfixed... I've liked it, enough to stay with it . Of course it became more and more to have moments of vigorous interface... But from the start or within a few moments it became the décor, the coloring, patterns in fabrics here and there, the wall décor however stark, the satisfying sound of any door closings, the whole of the living, sleeping quarters had me saying "I will hire some Turkish interior decorator if ever....". Ad all the time who knew? it was the very director's own home. Loved it. Why am I unable to shut off my dvd with the scene and that music for over an hour, getting on to two hours? The story. This is a 'must see'.
Panic in Year Zero! (1962)
Really, really well done/ acted
It's 2017 and you can hear and read in and on lots of sites of what we might experience if unprepared for a major catastrophe. This movie of like 55 years ago and the exercise in telling are superb. The acting is excellent. Frankie Avalon is better than good and what a surprise! All actions/ reactions are spelled out with attitudes and responses of maximum credibility. Very cool to be so surprised after expecting a low-level thing here... I was surprised that Ray Milland would take part in a "B" level movie. Well it isn't B level... Although not a Jean Hagen admirer her presence was why I expected less than is delivered. And she too gets my praise. A WOW of a movie. (I'm in the middle of it and await the final moments... and wouldn't for any reason under any conditions "spoil")
