You can read more about Peertube and potential security concerns here: hexbear.net/post/3471120\n\nThis week Hairy Harmonies is looking at two B&W Turkish films with somewhat existentialist themes.\n\n## Thou Gild’st the Even (2013) Sen Aydinlatirsin Geceyi\n\n1h 43m, Turkish with hard coded English subtitles\nwritten/directed by **Onur Ünlü**\n\nThis is VERY much ‘Arthouse Cinema’ with many surreal bits. Since I can’t find a hi-def version, we have to settle for a DVD rip. _Pay serious attention to its content warnings, with the worst of it being protracted and disturbing domestic abuse._\n\nSynopsis: **Cemal** is an assistant referee in football matches, **Yasemin** raises poultry, **Defne** is a street vendor who sells books, Doctor Irfan is occupied with his patients… In this town with two suns and three full moons in the sky, Cemal -who can see through the walls- has no expectation out of life and looks for a way out with Yasemin -who can move objects with her fingers- as he was trying to deal with the distress that fell on his. However, Defne, who can freeze time will muddle things up; Yasemin’s immortal boss’ actions will contradict the invisible elementary school teacher’s advices who is trying to eliminate the worries of Cemal.\n\n## Time to Love (1965) Sevmek Zamani\n\n1h 31m, Turkish with hard coded English subtitles\ndirected by **Metin Erksan** , cinematography by **Mengü Yegin**\n\nSynopsis/Review: Ostensibly, this is a love story between a withdrawn bachelor who falls in love with the picture of a woman while at work in one of the massive villas on Istanbul’s Princes’ Islands. When he meets the actual woman, he fears a relationship with the real-life person could never match his dreams. That’s a great premise, but without more exposition portions may feel like _oh so much melodrama!_ Perhaps the protagonists are meant to be deep and brooding, but what we hear is not deep enough to legitimize the pathos. Despite that minor complaint, the film is so beautifully shot that it is a real treat to watch.\n\nP.S. This film has nothing to do with the more recent TV series of the same name.\n\n## Content Warnings:\n\n**Thou Gild’st the Even/Sen Aydinlatirsin Geceyi**\nTurkey rating: 15+ / **domestic violence** (severe), warnings from ME via www.doesthedogdie.com/media/69962 under spoiler tags: :::spoiler 23 warnings that won’t spoil the film **domestic violence** (severe)\nwoman slapped\nreality unstable or unhinged\ndissociation, depersonalization, or derealization\nanimal dies\ndead animal\nsomeone uses drugs\nself-harm\nsomeone attempts suicide\nsomeone watched without knowing\nobscene language/gestures\nhomophobic slurs\nexistentialism debated\ncar crash\ngun violence\nrazors\nshaving/cutting\namputation (surreal)\nvomit\nsomeone wet/soil themselves\ndefecation\nminor sexualized\nphysical assault that MIGHT be interpreted to represent r*pe\n::: :::spoiler 0 warnings that WILL spoil the film all known warnings are listed in the previous category :::\n\n**Time to Love/Sevmek Zamani**\nNorway Streaming rating: 15 / warnings from ME via www.doesthedogdie.com/media/1672546 under spoiler tags :::spoiler 5 warnings that won’t spoil the film\ngun violence\nnatural bodies of water\nsomeone leaves without saying goodbye\nsomeone watched without knowing\nsomeone dies\n::: :::spoiler 2 warnings that WILL spoil the film major character dies\nsad ending\n::: Note: I was the only person to rate either of these movies (I didn’t bother with IMDB, which lists nothing, but did make the sole ratings thus far on ‘dogdies’), so **I encourage viewers to add to the ratings**.\n\nWe’ll be blorping at 4pm EDT/20:00 UTC right here:\nblorp.bot.nu/o/visual_cuisine\n\n**Remember: everyone should use a VPN for blorptube and any peertube.**\n\nMatrices for blorptube:\nmatrix.to/#/#visual_cuisine:matrix.org | matrix.to/#/#blorptube:matrix.org\n\n# letterboxd:\n\nletterboxd.com/film/thou-gildst-the-even/\nletterboxd.com/film/time-to-love/\n\n# movie links:\n\n  * **4:00pm EDT/20:00 UTC – Thou Gild’st the Even** : tankie.tube/w/r74qzWUpKrNXswFoUi48hE\n  * **6:00pm EDT/22:00 UTC – Time to Love** : tankie.tube/w/kAP3k3PtoAwif48bVLf3oE\n\n",
