Checking imdb, I see it's his fifth.  I'll fix that.  I didn't have any problem with the interiors, they looked as bright as they should be to me.  I don't know what you didn't like about the compositions, but none of them struck me as awkward, and I particularly liked the beach scene in the beginning with Ebru in extreme close up and Nuri an out of focus haze in the background.

imdb has Flight Of The Red Balloon scheduled for a limited release starting April 2 in the US.

Koza (1995) is a short.  :)

That's OK, we'll consider it a film.

I like that :)

09. 2 Days In Paris

Hmm, now I'm curious.  When I fist saw the trailer I was like, "Oh no, this will ruin my memory of Before Sunrise!" But its Delphy directed, and with you and Matty liking it I'm interested.  The thing is, the guy in the movie, I forget his name, but he really annoys me in everything I've seen him in.
It's like I've waited my whole life, for this one night.  It's gon' be me you and the dance floor.  We've only got one night.  Double your pleasure, double your fun.  And dance forever.

Well, Adam Goldberg basically apes the Woody Allen persona through the entire film. So if that's annoying to you, beware.

As for Before Sunrise, they're similar only on the surface. Thematically, they're quite different. It's sort of the anti-romantic comedy.
