Summary: Touching, beautiful, emotional
Comment: Touching, beautiful, emotional and deep while at the same time funny.
The story of two cities, Athens and Istanbul, is revolving around the habits and behavior of the Greeks living in Istanbul and moving to Greece to live there after some political turmoil in the 50s.
The story starts with young Fanis in Istanbul, his introduction to many aspects of life by his family either in the kitchen or in the spice stores of his grandfather and ends there many years later when the grandfather is dieing.
Through these years, Fanis became a professor of astronomy but never forgot his first love in Istanbul, a beautiful young Turkish neighbor and all the teaching by his grandfather.
The photography is exceptional captivating and makes you just ready to visit both cities.
This very same photography is full of symbolism with the camera moving freely into the space and the essence of the locations, capturing the binding elements of the two cities and the people.
The music is magnificent and again is able to identify common themes, sounds and tunes that link the two countries.
The kitchen is of course the centerpiece of the action.
Cooking is not just a necessity; it is the very essence of family gathering, decision-making, fun, challenge, and family life.
This film identified some strong similarities of both peoples and presented them in a wonderful emotional and realistic way.
Hospitality, the importance of the family, cooking and eating as a means of social and family strengthening, love and respect are all aspects that link the two people.
In fact, once we saw this film we started cooking a lot more dishes from the "Istanbul Cuisine" or as the title of the film in Greek is "Politiki Kouzina " which means just that.

Summary: A real touch of spice
Comment: I have seen the movie at the 8th Annual Turkish Film festival. I have heard great reviews about it and bought 11 tickets because I wanted to share that experience with all of my friends. I cried all through the movie and as soon as I got home I ordered the music CD. I received the CD couple of days ago; it is on my work computer and at home as well. Every song gives me goose bumps when I listen to it. Turkey and Greece are two countries that are so different in some ways and so similar in other. I always felt very close to Greeks. I really wished Fanis and Saime would get together.

Summary: Chinese Export DVDs
Comment: This movie is really a great one. I am glad that it was available by China for release to the rest of the world. The only thing I wish it had was subtitles in English.

Summary: The scents of those times that will never return!
Comment: The unsetting in a place question may become a true dislocation of our emotional and affective coordinates. Nostalgia and eagerness are our inseparable journey `s partners.
This is what it occurs when a little boy suffers in live flesh, the abominable and for him absolutely inexplicable consequences of the conflict Turkey Greece. And his love for spices is a clear refugee and evasion respect the adults world. But when he grew up, his passion will endure still. Old affects and hidden memories will blossom when they meet one each other years later. But the life as the show, must go on.
The admirable emotive traces left behind by Cinema Paradise or Like water for chocolate would seem to reborn in this sympathetic movie with some additive elements of the best Fellini and the sensitive influence of the Italian Neo Realism.
A good opportunity to enjoy a lyric picture with the enrapturing Istanbul as curtain of frame.
