The thriving Turkish film and television industry seems to have based its success not only on quality but also on the appeal of its protagonists and the sentimentality of its narratives. “The Blue Cave” is one of those films specifically crafted for that segment of the audience seeking the romantic facet of existence. It is also a highly dreamy movie, one of reverie, discovery, and ultimately, a gaze into the heart.
Plot
Following a promise made to a woman he loved, a man ventures into a cave to embark on an inward journey that will lead him to remember his true self.
About the Movie
“The Blue Cave” is not a film aimed at critics, nor is it one of those movies filled with subtlety in either its script or visuals. It clearly showcases its virtues and intentions without hiding them at any point. Do you enjoy sensitive cinema? Perfect, because “The Blue Cave” is a sensitive film that, without concealing it at any moment, avoids any subtlety and displays the protagonist’s arguments and feelings throughout.
Cinematically, the film features romantic music at all times and magnificent landscapes that seek an almost poetic extreme beauty to accompany the protagonist on his journey. It is a film that understands its audience, knows what they want, how they want it, and what narrative approach is appropriate. This narrative places all its strength in the sentiment, romance, and evolution of the protagonist.
“The Blue Cave” is a very television-like movie, in the sense that it openly displays its intentions and characters. It is a film about inner journeys, rebirths, and above all, love.
Our Opinion
It is not for all audiences and may not appeal to everyone, but it knows what to say and who its audience will be. It trusts this audience and gives them what they want: an appealing main character full of fears, very romantic, in a paradisiacal setting that will lead him to the depths of his being.
