Honey (2010)
Original title Bal
Director Semih Kaplanoglu
From the complicated relationship between a child and his mother to the story of a child and his father. The final part of the trilogy arrives at Yusuf's childhood although the sense of time and place is deliberately distorted as dream sequences converge with reality in six-year-old Yusuf's story. As he goes through the trauma of beginning school, he refuses to talk and dreams are his only way to communicate. Young Bora Alta? is remarkable as Yusuf and there is some superlative photography by Bar?? Özbiçer. Set in the remote and undeveloped eastern Black Sea region, BAL is a beautiful meditation on familial love and the mysteries of nature. - 16th London Turkish Film Festival 2010
