Mustafa Hakkinda Hersey

Nice attempt to improve the Turkish Movie Industry but its plot is not an original idea. The performances of the players are praiseworthy, but it seems to me that it has some inefficiencies in screenplay. Especially, after the kidnapping of Fikret, the dialogs between him and Mustafa are sometimes very hilarious. I mean this is a high tension movie (at least it is expected to be) and those ridiculous speeches cause me to lose my attention and desire to the kidnapping incident. Fikret Kuskan and Nejat Isler were so successful, and even her small part Basak Koklukaya was awesome.. Despite of all above negative points, I think it is worth to watch this movie; 6.5/10

No doubt the lead characters has given some really good performance and somehow decent quality production for Turkish cinema. the plot is not that new , there are such same movies like same plot where wife died and husband found out that she was unfaithful (red shoe diaries by zalman king).

the movie has some huge flaw in start , the reason behind why wife goes unfaithful ? because husband is busy or very uptight ? and when the story starts about the wife when she sitting n crying in Cab , then later there is no such thing that why she was crying that moment.

the movie also some side story line of husband too but it doesnt connect to the main plot but it does connect to the ending which make it not satisfying or good ending.

A perfect movie. After watching "old boy" i thought a revenge movie could not be better than this movie. But i am so happy to have change of watching "Mustafa Hakkinde Hersey." One important point of this movie is Fikret Kuskan. i show respect him. For the last few years he shows his quality. i think he will have an Oscar for the next ten years. Mor ve Otesi, A rock group from Turkiye. They also fit the movie completely. Sometimes revenge is a meeting with your past. Reasons of many problems are hidden in our past. And as tagline Actually, nothing is what it seems. After seeing this film you need some time to think mustafa and your-self. A life without any lies. Could this be possible?

as seen in the name "everything about mustafa" the movie points out different flashbacks to describe the character. you can't make anything out of it unless you try to think everything separately + combining them + understand the whole idea. the best Turkish movie ever and definitely deserved the Oscar for the best foreign movie ( actually i found it to be better than most Oscar nominees )

with more thought and good dialogues added to Turkish movies like "anlat istanbul" and "mustafa hakkinda hersey", already developed Spanish movie sector and developing Turkish movie sector will have a very important affect on European movies.

With the potential of many alternative endings, "Mustafa Hakkinda Hersey" is a very successful movie. It is about some two or three days of a man who lost his wife in a surprising manner, and a lot more. The translation of the title is "Everything about Mustafa" since it covers his all life with minor flashbacks. The cinematography, the scenario, the rhythm and the actors are superb. I would be sorry if the movie is kept in the domestic market and not distributed to western audiences as well. Since I watched it on DVD, which is also well prepared in picture & sound quality, I'd advise all to find and watch it. The soundtrack made by "Mor ve Otesi" is also a good choice and goes parallel with the scenario. Mustafa ( Fikret Kushan ) presents an unexpected character with all details. Overall, for me an 8.5 rating won't be generous too.
