Customer Reviews of In July

Watch it in July, August and all year round!
In July is one of the movies that I can watch over and over. I will not cover the plot, since reviewers before me did a good job at it. <

>I would not consider this film a sappy melodrama, and I did not find it annoying like some love movies are. It is very lighthearted and kind. It tells a story of following your fate, finding your love, and of traveling across Europe without a penny in the pocket. In fact, it does not concentrate on love, although it is the premise of the film. You can just watch it as an adventure movie with many funny stories and situations. The actors do a good job playing their parts, scenery is cool, there are a few fancy and scenes with a trendy camera work, and the soundtrack is wonderful. <

>It is a typical quality European film. I hope you enjoy watching it. <

The sun has been rising from the east since the beginning of time
There are very nice allegories in this movie. Daniel, as the physicist that he is, lacking essential social abilities. needs to be enlightened. More like our average "I do my job, dont care about the rest" modern day type. Everbody has his/her own inner journey, Isa (Jesus), Daniel the (old tastement) scientist, Melek (Angel) and Juli (July) throughout the trip to Istanbul from Hamburg. And yes,follow the sun, as it has been proven to work already...A very good humane point of view that we have forgotten for some decades due to unjustified arrogance.. As he himself, Fatih Akin, the director of the movie and writer of the scenario emphasizes in a somewhat joking way, and it is most probably true that, "if Sheakespeare were to live today, he probably would do such work". If you think you are up for some good romance and commedy, go for it. I would recommend this as a DVD for a romantic date too:-).

"The sky is blue wherever you go."
It's summertime in Hamburg, and while it's a time for most people to go away on holiday, Daniel (Moritz Bleibtreu), a serious young teacher, is stuck at home. A bohemian young woman named Juli (Christiane Paul) has her sights set on Daniel, but Daniel spoils Juli's plans by meeting Melek, a traveling Turkish woman (Idil Uner). When Melek leaves for Budapest the next day, Daniel impulsively decides to follow her, and he bumps into Juli as she hitchhikes out of town. Juli makes a habit of taking a hitchhiking holiday every summer, and her destination is always left to chance--she goes wherever the passing cars take her. <

>"In July" is basically an on-the-road romance. The viewer knows that Juli is attracted to Daniel, but Daniel is blissfully unaware of this. He's so determined to meet a mystery woman under the Bosporus Bridge that he overlooks Juli entirely. As they pass through Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania on the way to Budapest, Daniel and Juli suffer a series of misadventures, and at every misfortune, Daniel becomes less straitlaced and more uninhibited. <

>While the film is rather predictable, it's salvaged by completely unexpected moments of originality. The heavy use of coincidence is forgiven by the plot's emphasis on fate. Juli's free spirited character is nicely balanced by Daniel's stability and occasional stodginess. Slated to be a popular foreign romance film, "In July" is directed by Fatih Akin--in German with English subtitles--displacedhuman
