Sirf su cümlesi bile yeterli 0 vermem için. "Vatan sana canim feda derken disim, içim "Vatan sensin be askim! "diye haykirdi." Askerligin kutsal ideolojisini terörün yaptiklarini mesrulastirarak yerle bir etmekten baska bir ise yaramayan bir film zannimca. Kimileri, " -sol gosterip sag cakan- isbirlikci bir propaganda filmiydi." demis, cok dogru demis.

Politics aside, Nefes is just not a good movie. What can be described as poetic meditation in the war zone also can be called a damn boring trite, that does not make a stand either way, and consists of loosely connected scenes of everyday soldiers' life and time-lapse shots of clouds. Nationalism, or call it patriotism, gets in my way of enjoying any film, and when there is only nationalism or clouds to pick from its one sad movie.

technicly and emotionally one of the best turkish movie ever made..

Promising start yet hits a dead end somewhere near middle after portraying the life of soldiers in the mountains, gets stuck in too much emotion and becomes repetitive. Too much poetry hinders the persuasiveness of the movie. Despite all, deserves an applause for trying to make an honest attempt to deliver the realities of the southeast Turkey.

The closest thing to a Terrence Malick movie I've ever seen. Not to say that it is derivative, but rather that it is brilliantly filmed.

Anlatmak istedigini anlatabilmis fakat milliyetci kesimden abartili ovguler almasini anlayamadim.

great cinematography

17 ekim 09, flyinn. anne*baba ve ben & militarist bir film degil ama en buyuk eksiyi turkluk propogandasi yapmaktan aliyor. son sahneleri buna ornek verebiliriz. bir de filmin belli bir ritimi yok. sahneleri tek tek ele aldigimizde cok basarili fakat genele bakildiginde o basarili sahneler arasinda bir baglanti, bir denge tutturulamamis. bunun disinda teknik olarak izledigim en iyi turk filmlernden biri diyebilirim.

a stunning film about the meaninglesness of war and the psychology of soldiers. very good cinematography, partially clumsy on the editing. although only looking from the turkish side and doing some turkish propoganda towards the end, still the most neutral turkish film about war.

This film is a tight rope walker, especially considering the sensitivity of issue in Turkey. It's at times manipulative, at others casual and humane. The main letdown is messiness in the flow and in between scenes. Yet it manages to be more than mere propaganda.
