Seven Letters

This is an interesting 12-minute short that deals with several philosophical questions. Questions about seeing into the future, appreciation of life, morality, and death seem to occupy the characters’ mind. The mise-en-scene is plain and simple and therefore succeeds to direct the viewer’s attention to the characters and their concerns. There is still more potential to develop the relationship between these characters and where they stand in the film. Overall, acting is very strong and theatrical, but the ending might leave you unsatisfied if you are looking for a strong climax and resolution.


Seven Letters bircok felsefik soruyu izleyiciye yonelten bir film. Gelecegi bir anlik da olsa gorme sansimiz olsa, simdi nasil davranirdik? Su an yasadigimiz hayattan nasil tamamen tatmin olabiliriz? En korkmamiz gereken sey gercekten olum mu yoksa hayatimizi nasil yasadigimiz daha mi onemli? Filmin mis-en-scene’i sade ve basit. Filmin bu ozelligi izleyicinin dikkatini tamamen karaktere ve karakterin kafasini mesgul eden seye vermesini sagliyor. Uc aktris de cok basarili olmasina ragmen, birbirleri ile olan iliskileri yeteri kadar acik olarak sunulmamis. Film bir bakima bir tiyatro oyunundan kisa bir sahne gibi. Derin ve ilginc sorularla ilgilenen bu film, sonunda izleyiciye bekledigi cevabi sunmayabilir. Ama filmin gucu belki de sonundaki bu belirsizlikte.

weak

saw this on Propellor Sky 195

The direction given to the actors left a lot more to be done. There wasnt any provocation which meant it quickly got boring.

i turned off the volume and although the pictures created were intially more interesting but then the wide shot brings it all back down again.

great intro and ok exit. so, bit like a spielberg moment.

overall 6/10
