"Cafe Sultan" has neither customers nor stories "Cafe Sultan" is a film that has an acceptable framing, but it faces a serious weakness in the narration of the story; A weakness that even its weight fell on the shoulders of symbolism. The film's narrative takes place at the same time as the imposed 12-day war; However, the film takes about 15 minutes to get to its main story. The course of the narrative does not reach a certain climax and does not lead the audience to a clear conclusion; Finally, the audience leaves the hall empty-handed. The symbolic and political lines of the film are so weak and scattered in the narrative that there is not much room left to reflect on them. One can see signs of the influence of "Café Sultan" from the film "Café Transit" made by Kamboja Pertubi; Similarities that of course did not lead to the creation of a work with an independent and coherent narrative identity. - Link.
