In July (2000)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Thanks for the memories!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Im Juli is one of the ultimate adventurous love movies. I personally love most of the movies Moritz Bleibtreu movies but Juli played by Christiane Paul totally sets the mysterious free spirited feeling throughout the movie. Overall exceptionally good acting and storyline! From the beginning to the end of the movie, everything was unexpected to me. I experienced a wide range of emotions throughout the movie. Im Juli goes from adventure, to intense, to perfect love story, to lives falling apart and lives being lost. But within the final ending minutes everything throughout the movie came together, which left me completely satisfied.

Controversial German-Turkish filmmaker Faith Akin followed the critical success of his debut feature "Short Sharp Shock" and cemented his popular appeal with this cute rom-com that takes its protagonists from downtown Hamburg to the banks of the Bosporus in Istanbul that proved a successful sophomore feature.Prolific German actor Moritz Bleibtreu makes a likable lead and generates great chemistry with the über-cute Christiane Paul as his sometime love interest whilst excellent support comes from the charming Mehmet Kurtulus at the head of a quirky supporting cast that includes the ephemeral İdil Üner, the insane Branka Katić and a brief appearance from Akin himself.The accomplished filmmaker employs all the standard clichés in this run-of-the-mill road movie that is lifted to a whole new level by a diverse and talented cast and crew who put there passion for film-making onto the screen in a way that has long since deserted the Hollywood factory.Hey, we got a long way to go, man.

Daniel was a practicing teacher in Hamburg. After he bought a ring from a street saleswoman Juli, he decided to find out who was his true love. In fact Juli loved him at the first sight. When Daniel accidentally met a tourist, he thought she was his true love.However the tourist went to Istanbul in several days. Daniel made his mind to go to Istanbul to find her. Unexpectedly he met Juli on his way. Although Juli learned his real intension, she still would like to accompany him to Istanbul because she did not want to give up.What happened on the journey was very interesting. Juli's persistence really moved my heart. Sometimes true love is close to you. If you are careful, you will not let your true love slip away.An enchanting romantic movie. 8/10

To be honest, I was a little afraid in the beginning, as the movie seemed to be somewhat mainstream after reading all those praising comments from all over the globe. Plus, in some movies, the director loses the end of the thread easily because he thinks the cast will catch it for him, and the cast on this one is downright excellent. But anyway, I watched it, and I liked it.No trust-the-cast-and-do-a-lousy-job error by the director (I've seen his Kurz Und Schmerzlos and Gegen Die Wand, VERY promising guy!), and no mistake by anyone except for the silly physics mistake in the beginning. But hey, who cares? This is art, not science! Mehmet Kurtulus and Moritz Bleibtreu are among my favourite European actors, and now Branka Katic (what a goddess!) and Christiane Paul (cute, pretty, sexy, and talented!) are added to the list. Everyone else is also doing good, but these ones stick out. And I have big words for Moritz and Mehmet.. What is the best attainable status for an actor? (Definitely not acting in lame Hollywood flicks) Whatever it is, they deserve it. Like.. If the best footballer is one that could play for Barcelona or Milan, these guys are at that level for an actor. See their other movies (e.g. Der Tunnel and Das Experiment), and you'll agree.One thing I'd like to point at is the humour. Comparing the subtle humour in this film (which is classified as a light romantic comedy) to the stuff in those Hollywood flicks (that are supposed to make you laugh your a*s off), I really feel sorry for American people and their followers. If you are one of those who think an obese guy accidentally sitting on a cake and painting everyone's face with creme is exhilarating, do a favour to yourself and the art of cinema, and refrain from watching "Im Juli"."Im Juli" is an excellent romantic comedy, which catches every point that the lousy "Love Actually" misses. The director and the cast constitute the ultimate gift for both Turkish and German cinema, and I hope to see more of their works together or separately.Congratulations and thanks to everyone who put effort into the making of this heart-warming masterpiece.9,5 / 10
