In reply to Brittaney B. Brittaney, Turkey is an amazing country! Its vibrant cultural history is exciting to explore and its a must visit destination IMO. I love Turkish films too! Thanks to Netflix, there are quite a few to enjoy. It's funny, I rewatched this film last night and actually enjoyed it more on a rewatch. I think I was/still am frustrated by the shallow depth of the script. There are so many emotions, so many complexities the film could have mined to spectacular effect. Instead the fact that its ignored or glossed over make the film fall far short of just how wonderful it could have been. I will definitely check out your recommendation. And if you happen to watch TOL, let me know what you think :D

May I say, I am completely jealous that you have visited Turkey? Having discovered Turkish films and television this past year, this movie sounds like something I will enjoy. Speaking of inter-religious relationships, one of the best ones I’ve come across is in Amy Harmon’s book, From Sand and Ash. It’s set against the backdrop of WWII in Italy and features a romance between a Catholic priest and a Jewish woman.
