"Eşkiya" has a very questioning style with superb acting.
The movie is clearly questioning if bandits could be "good", contrary to the known prejudice.;) "Baran", the leading character as a former bandit (eşkiya in Turkish), is someone that represents the 'dying good', still 'pursueing' his one and only love, but the story is still not a love story, on the contrary questioning the todays shallow look on morality, the conflict of east and west in a very Turkish way.
Namely and truly romantic.
Şener Şen, as one of the best actors in Turkish cinema is at his best.
Uğur Yücel, is doing a remarkable job.
You should see this one if not already.
Turkish cinema influenced by "west", thinking of especially the last scene, which is 'still' worth seeing... ;)
Erkan Oğur, a phenomenon for modern Turkish music, is one of the people that "make" the last scene... His name should be remembered if someone talks about this movie anywhere, anytime. ;)
