The touching and cheerful Turkish film "Love Likes Coincidences": tells the multifaceted story of friendship and love that define the life of the main characters from birth.

If it decides the fate of

Denise (Belçim Bilgin) and Otsgyur (Mehmet Gunsur) meet by chance in Istanbul, without remembering that they are already familiar. Denise, quarreled with her fiancé, decides to go on the street and sees a poster with a photo exhibition, a little girl in the photo she finds herself and decides to find the author. Seeing Otsgyura in the gallery, she can not get rid of the obsessive feeling that he knew him for many years.

After reading his own diary, Denise realizes that Otsgyur is the boy that as a child her attention. After so many years, fate brings them back. He is well-known photographer, she was aspiring actress, they have nothing in common, but they are drawn to each other. Lively, sparkling energy Denise makes Otsgyura forget that he is terminally ill.

The unity of time and place

"Love Likes Coincidences" directed by Ömer Faruk Sorak - poignant domestic drama, full of both humor and tragedy. The film features a remarkable integrity, character meet and parting to meet again. Flashbacks accurately and precisely inserted into the narrative to combine the past and present.

The importance of play in the picture and the details match, the characters are doing a same way in the different periods of life, not only in order to find something new, but to lose something. The symbolism of the sacrifice and the completion of a circle is present in the construction of the narrative, in which you can not avoid thinking about the deaths of all things.

The protagonist is not randomly selects a profession photographer, he is looking to the past, cherishes every memory, his work combines it with his father, and forget about the contradictions, it gives him the opportunity to leave something behind. Just picture how art makes people immortal, immutable, timeless.

Denise, in contrast to the Otsgyura lives the future, she is an actress, her career and success are highly dependent on each subsequent work, it too is subject to the passage of time, constantly moving, changes to roles. Her life is fleeting, it leaves nothing behind, not even her baby pictures - her mother burned them in a fit of frustration, so Denise could not remember what it was when I was a child. Meet the heroes like a collision between two different time flows - short-term, violent, tragic.

Acting duo Belçim Bilgin and Mehmet Gunsura perfectly reflects the difference in the characters, their intimacy arises spontaneously, but is particularly acute because heartfelt, full of hopelessness and sadness, because one of them is doomed. The film also stars: Altan Erkekli, Ayda Aksel, Sebnem Sonmez, Hussein Avni Danyang, Zafer Demirkan and many others.

Not just a love story

Melodrama "Love Likes Coincidences" may be filed as a love story, but the romantic line in her fuzzy, sloppy strokes sketched, played in more than voiced aloud. The novel does not interfere with the overall perception of the picture, it does not take time, all other storylines, no less important for the atmosphere of the film.

Love occurs between the characters, not the romantic sense fully, but rather a sincere affection, mutual understanding, are too valuable for both of them to give it some definition. Through all the story goes the idea that accidents do not happen in my life, everything is interconnected, but not everyone can solve this kind of communication.

For the film does not need the depth of inner feelings, do not need a tear, so the secondary characters that are introduced into the narrative, conceived only in general terms, they perform their role and are retreating into the shadows. This is the case when the component parts do not give the impression of drama, but all together perfectly formed, the story ends, and there is nothing to add to it.

The finale of the film - the emotional output, the point at which converge all the plot strings. Fast and sudden denouement - the author's surprise decision is correct, the director does not detain the narrative that somehow sum up, so power is not permitted, and remains within the film.
