Very funny sophisticated serial. It really turned into phenomenon in short period. Now, its 3rd season is ongoing on TV. Having been some changes on cast, It sometimes had some rhythm loose. But still the best. As good as Mel Brooks could do. Most of the actors and actress have good theatrical background. So performances are generally good. Biggest disadvantage is that it has been quite peculiar to Turk culture. So to find Enlish subtitles is difficult. Even if you get, you may not realize the intelligent, sophisticated send-ups. I can say that it still contains very smart spoofs, aphorisms, send-ups to well known movies, personalities and most used clichés. Absolutaly pure Laugh Out Loud comedy.

Innocence
(1997)
Brilliant scenario, excellect acts
19 January 2013
Probably one of the most depressing and strongest movie ever. But very enchanting scenario and poetic expression. That's where unrequited love would drift the man's life to rueful & how a man could have turned to be totally loser. Even for Haluk Bilginer's tirade-like dialog only , while sitting on the grass field at 42 min., it'd worth to watch. Theatrical acts, deeply heart-touching theme. Don't miss it. 9 of 10. After 6 years of this movie, director Zeki Demirkubuz, deeply impressed by Dostoyevski and Albert Camus' works, has directed a movie named Kader 'Fate' on 2006 which expresses the beginning of the story..I suggest you to watch both movie in a row..

Good Suspense Thriller Film
9 May 2008
Interesting film. Adopted by a novel, film seems a political thriller but no liaison of politics. An intelligence agent seeks for his neighbor (also his girl friend). Friend of his girl friend thinks, she might has been killed by agent due to she wants to leave him. But agent thinks, she might have been killed by an illegal organization that she's member of it. Tardu Florin as Neco, Ilyas Salman as Cuma are very well played. As you watch the film, you will spend good time. You even feel that you were reading political, suspense thriller. I think best of film is the final scene as good as a Roman Polanski's film. People who enjoys suspense thriller in Polansi style, would enjoy this film exactly. Final is really stunning and creative...

Stunning Film Ever Made
9 May 2008
As a men that don't like dramas much, I really have been impressed so much. What a great film about a rebellious men, facing reality of life and his past. Maybe best style of expression cultural abyss between somebody and family. Almost all cast has strong background of theater of cinema. Huseyin (father of rebellious men) and his naive brother really acted worldwide quality. Especially naive brother was played so naturally. I wish, if it were nominee for Oscar as best film. In Turkey film awarded so many prizes in film festivals as best film, best actor, best actress, best supporting role ...etc. I think this film is really a milestone of a Turkish Film Industry. One of the best film ever seen without a doubt. I recommend everybody to watch.

An excellent example of black humor
6 May 2008
An excellent example of black humor. I spent great times to watch. If you like Mel Brooks's style, you will love it. Cause it contains neither stupidly nor foolish comedy clichés. (such as no farting to make people laugh.) I recommend to watch it strongly. Especially Bulent Kayabas and killer, hired by him acted very good. All conversations between killer and ac-counter are really very well. But Haluk Bilginer, a graduate of theater education in London, one of the really greatest actor of drama and comedy of Turkey, is not good choice for so small role. I even couldn't know him. It's maybe first movie, containing that first leading actor played without speaking not even a word.
