One of the best films you will ever see

Turtles Can Fly (Bahman Ghobadi,2004)


I'm not going to write anything on this film. I feel that writing a review for it just wouldn't give it justice even if you say hands down this is the best film ever. This is a film that excites me so much and from people that have seen it, they all say the same. Turtles can fly has a certain magic quality to it that so few films have these days. The last three that i can name are Pan's labyrinth, The host and Children of Men. The magic that im talking about isn't like a happy well rounded ending or uplifting characters but something more, something that i honestly can't put into words but this film has it. It's just a feeling that happens after you watch a great film. My three favorite films of all time have the same quality but are very different films, City lights, Citizen Kane and Aguirre the wrath of god. These films just make you feel like cinema was created for them personally.

Please, watch this film. It's beautiful on every level. The only thing i can say about this film is that it's a fairy tale caught in the tragedies of the real world. One of the best films that you'll ever see.
