Av mevsimi - Zeit der Jagd

After many boring worthless Turkish movies Turgul made his latest masterpiece. Perfect story and storytelling, extra ordinary casting, wonderful photographing... Cem Yilmaz who is best Turkish Stand-up comedian shows us very ordinary Police officer with excellent acting. People who is waiting any joke from him during 2 hour may be disappoint. Sener Sen is also another Comedy player but after movie I am sure that no one will remember him as a comedy player. There is many word to tell about the movie. My writing skill in English is not enough to express my critics. Sorry. Finally I hope we will not wait long time for another Turgul Movie. Thank you Master Turgul

Very good Turkish movie. Atmosphere was great, actors, actress were great.

A hand of a female girl happens to appear at the woods. The senior officer along with his partner in investigation appear at the site along with a newbie. Investigation progress along with the personal life's of the the three investigators. The movie goes through some magnificent personal trauma. The rest is , will they find the rest of the body and catch the murderer and lock him up.

Performance wise sener sen is fabulous along with cemal hunal. Great cinematography and whole total good predictable and dramatic thriller to watch. Director cagam imrak has given a wonderful movie to watch. Especially at the climax scene where the chief meets the culprit ,they take a walk and revels the entire crime. The dialogues are meanted carefully in order to suite the situation.

First of all, any person would rate or comment on this movie should understand that Hunting Season is not a $100+ million budget movie, or even $10 million! These men had only $4 million to spend on every single detail. Even so, regardless its tiny budget comparing to many Hollywood movie, this one is much more better than numerous Hollywood made. Brilliant director Yavuz Turgul's Hunting Season is really a great alternative for those people looking for something different. Also, this movie puts best Turkish actors all together. If Sener Sen, Cem Yilmaz and even Cetin Tekindor were born in the US, they would be world famous actors, and no doubt Sener Sen would be awarded Best Actor Oscar more than once...

Well, to be honest I was expecting much more of this from Yavuz Turgul, after Gönül Yarası and Eşkiya. Besides some certain wrong connotations and wrong ways of acting, the movie's overall fluctuating search for a rhythm make me said this. What you expect from a police thriller is tension and curiosity, but I've lost both in the middle of the movie. The story of the homicide policemen took its place in the core, and I forgot the story of late Pamuk. The good part of the movie was its uniqueness, while Turkish cinema followers are not familiar to watch such genre in Turkish Cinema. I hope it'd be a good start and the level goes up every time. For Turgul, I hope there will be another masterpiece in two years. For Sener Sen, there is not much to say, however in the start the preaching part seems so artificial, it seems Sen is reading from a prompter, but for the rest, he's the best. Cem Yılmaz is still striving to become an actor, but he's done a good job also, especially the sad moments. For the rest of the cast, there seems not so brilliant acting to me. In conclusion, the movie is worth watching for Sener Sen and for its being unique for Turkish Cinema. And if you want to enjoy it more, forget it's a Yavuz Turgul movie, than you'll expect less. Best Wishes
