(aka "Sev beni" or "Люби меня" or "Lyuby Mene")
directed by Maryna Gorbach, Mehmet Bahadir Er
Turkey/Ukraine 2013
Sasha (Viktoria Spesivtseva)
desperately wants to have a baby. When her married lover goes
back to his wife, Sasha decides to target a foreigner for a one
night stand in order to achieve her goals. Fortunately, Cemal (Ushan
Çakir) has been dragged from Istanbul to Kiev by his uncle (Güven
Kiraç) and randy cousin (co-director Mehmet Bahadir Er) for his
bachelor party and is immediately struck by the sight of the
seemingly cold and aloof Sasha (who he initially believes wants
to harvest his organs when she insists he wash up so she can
poke holes in his condoms). Their assignation is interrupted,
however, when Sasha's mother (Olena Stefanska) shows up to tell
her that her grandmother (Margaryta Kosheleva) has escaped from
the nursing home again, and Sasha drags Cemal along in search of
the old woman. Despite not sharing the same culture or language
- apart from some common words in English - the two bond over a
series of misunderstandings and misadventures that leave Cemal
reluctant to return to Istanbul to get married. When Sasha
discovers that Cemal is soon-to-be-wed, will she proceed with
her plan or return his burgeoning affection? |

Film Movement's
progressive, anamorphic encode of this Arri Alexa-photographed
film sports fair detail for standard definition with great
expanses of black and white (from the snowy landscapes to
Sasha's furs) can sometimes look flatter than it really is. The
Dolby Digital 5.1 mix is generally expansive for the exteriors
and nightclub scenes while receding to the front with very
little in the surrounds for more intimate scenes (a 2.0 stereo
down mix is also included). The optional English subtitles are
fairly successful at translating much of the rapidly-spoken and
sometimes overlapping dialogue (sometimes in more than one
language). |
