What is this movie? It brings up various subjects (a failing marriage, homosexuality, Turkish customs, etc. etc.), gives them all short shrift and goes nowhere with any of them. The photography is beautiful, but at times I felt like I was watching a travelogue, not a motion picture. The acting ranges from OK to horrible. The worst performance is by the leading man. He's always so stone-faced that you can't get a grip on his character. Considering that one section of the film deals with his sexual awakening, this is not good news. When someone was killed at the end (brutally and unnecessarily) I didn't care. Boring, pointless...go if you need a little nap.
