Perfect performance
olcayozfirat14 July 2023
Turkish drama film produced in 1983. When I decided to watch it, I was sure it would be a bad movie. In fact, when the site I downloaded at the time wrote the movie uncensored, I doubted that it was a porn movie from the 80s. But when it was over, I was emotional. The screenplay of the film, which has a wonderful narration, belongs to Nuri Sezer and Nesli Çölgeçen. It was directed by Nesli Çölgeçen. The film tells the story of an actor who has spent thirty years in the cinema industry to become an actor, but has come down to being an extra. Ozcan Ozgur plays the lead role. Who is he, you will say. You only remember when you see the photo.

The man made a great game. He even lived in some places.

In the film, the ordeals of all the veterans who worked and disappeared in the sector are explained in detail. When the man's life is swamped, the places where he lives and hangs out are the swamp. For this reason, there are also dramas of the women he deals with. All of the actors are actors who have played as supporting roles and extras in the industry. I definitely recommend the movie. I think that the actor who played the most painful leading role was not given much value despite this performance while he was alive.

There is little sex and no nudity in the movie.

The film follows their unlikely romance, as they meet by chance and gradually develop a deep and genuine connection. They share their joys and sorrows, their fears and hopes, their secrets and dreams. They also face the challenges and obstacles of their harsh reality, such as the hostility and prejudice of the society, the threats and violence of the underworld, and the doubts and insecurities of their own hearts.

The film is a beautiful with its realism, with a brilliant script, direction, and performance. The dialogue is natural and authentic. The acting demonstrays powerful portrayals of their complex and conflicted characters.
