Ölümlü Dünya

A good mix of comedy and action. Such a fun title to enjoy.

If you live and breathe sarcasm, this is your movie.

Olumlu Dunya - "Mortal Life" is a movie about unusual characters gathered in somewhat unusual family that runs an ordinary Turkish diner, which sets the stage for a perfect situation-comedy.

Director and co-writer Ali Atay is know as Turkish Pioneer in comedy, he continues to deliver what he is known for while setting new horiozons for Turkish Cinema. He and his team write funny and irreverent dialogues and have a very in-your-face directing style that fits right in with the tone of the movie. The pace of the movie is constantly in overdrive, meaning that the viewer is always engaged.

If you take the wit and color, and combine it with the excessive violence and healty dose of sarcasm you end up with Mortal Life. I felt like watching a Tarantino-Alaturca. That's pretty high praise, and this is what the movie deserves.

When the credits roll, you haven't learned very much about the world or yourself, but you had a good time. Mortal Life is a light but out of ordinary movie, and a fun one without trying. If that's what you want, this is a movie for you.

This is one of the best films of the year. I think it is a very enjoyable and traceable film for Turkish Cinema.

This movie is based on the family, but not the families you know. In a funny way, the dark and emotionless local shop owners start with the humorous dialogue of the "Mermer" family with each other. This dark comedy uses a little 'Leon', a little 'Goodfellas', a little 'Godfather' figures, colors and a little joke inside.

"Mermer" family is a family that will draw your attention. With the drama and the gangster comedy, i can say that the film is a wonderful mix. Turkey tries to new type of comedy thing for the moment. Let's see if a few years later the situation is to be realized, will it be seated on the market?

A story we are not accustomed to in Turkish cinema, I think it is a very brave film language. Looking at the director's style, it certainly gives hope. Characters and dialogues are quite realistic in an exaggerated story. It's definitely a fun time to come. I think you meet what you expect from the cinema.
