Abbas in Flower poster

The discovery of Turkish cinema is a rite of passage for every blossoming cinephile. There's a very avid fanbase that advertises these films like crazy, then there's the rest of the world that seems to hate them. Abbas in Flower isn't the most notorious of the bunch, but it sure isn't anything close to acceptable.

The performances are absolutely dire, the little comedy that is there is negligible, the romance felt flat and the film looks atrocious. There aren't many redeemable elements, except that the film is quite short and decently paced. That's hardly a positive when all the rest is horrible, but it's something.
