Lull Magazine – “Audrey Tautou and Robert Smith” – Issue #3, February 2002 – Turkish Edition

Description:

Lull was an independent Turkish culture, arts, and music magazine published in the early 2000s, focusing on alternative music, cinema, literature, and popular culture. Through artist interviews, film criticism, and in-depth cultural features, it explored international music and cinema while introducing Turkish readers to distinctive artists and alternative cultural perspectives.

This Turkish-language issue, dated February 2002, is identified as the magazine’s third issue and features Audrey Tautou, star of the film Amélie, alongside Robert Smith, the iconic frontman of The Cure, on the cover. The interview with Robert Smith explores The Cure’s Greatest Hits album, memories from touring, and the band’s future recording plans. Other music features examine the German group The Notwist and their musical experimentation influenced by Krautrock and postmodernism, the melancholic orchestral sound of Tindersticks’ album Can Our Love..., and the independent punk and hardcore band Fugazi, with particular attention to their album The Argument and their musical philosophy.

The issue also explores cinema through an interview with director Jean-Pierre Jeunet about the making of Amélie and the world of its characters, an analysis of Darren Aronofsky’s cinematic storytelling in Pi and Requiem for a Dream, and an aesthetic and philosophical examination of Luchino Visconti’s Death in Venice. Combining alternative rock, independent music, contemporary cinema, and film criticism, this issue reflects Lull’s eclectic approach to music and culture in the early 2000s.
