Sarmasik has taken my attention since I learned that it won 4 awards (best film, best director, best actor and best screenplay) at Golden Orange Film Festival in Antalya.
Let's say I watch a film and I don't know that it is directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan. I can say "This can be a Nuri Bilge Ceylan film" while watching it. I mean, the directors have their own styles. The young directors can be effected by masters, but Tolga Karaçelik differs from other young directors as it seems that he has already his own style. He has a great potential and the expectation from him is very high from now on.
With a few words; the story is about six men who have to stay on a ship anchored far from the coast. The longer they stay on the ship, the more they get nervous.
I don't want to give so much details about the film, but I would like to share two scenes I like so much in the film:
Cenk plays and sings "Deniz Üstü Köpürür" after he tells his story. Deniz Üstü Köpürür (a popular song by Cem Karaca) means "The Surface of The Sea Foams" in Turkish. (It is a good example of using a soundtrack in a film)
The captain of the ship talks to the crew on the open deck. When he is about to leave there, a hammer is thrown towards him. He takes the hammer from the floor, He orders Cenk to take it from him and put it in its box. (This is one of the subjects questioned in the film: authority fight)
Good screenplay (with realistic dialogues), successful story development and great performance of the cast (especially Nadir Saribacak as Cenk) make Sarmasik a good film.
As a summary, the surface of the sea foams...
Bravo!
8/10
