Die Nachtigall von Bursa

First of all I am a huge fan of Ata Demirer. I watched his movies and stand up show many times. He is a perfect talent. In my first review I said I didn't like the movie because it is not a comedy and I didn't laugh at all but I misjudged the movie, this is a musical drama and when I think like that, I can say Ata Demirer executes perfect job. It is so naive with lots of details and also very well observed of period... Also it has a deep story about being looser or I don't know unlucky maybe.. I really loved it. Also I loved the woman singer voice so much,very arabesque.. I hope we can see second movie with happy final. Good characterizations, nice scenes and lovely 80s atmosphere... Really Good job. Watchable and recommended.

Bursa Bulbulu (The Nightingale of Bursa) is a melodrama from Ata Demirer and his crew. The movie features the story of a wedding singer, who sings "taverna muzigi" (tavern music) in a pianist (or keyboard player) singer-songwriter style in 1980's. This style, which the singers often sang songs of personal troubles, impossible-loves, love-sickness, sadness, and tragedies, was famous in that era. Ata Demirer, known for his sincere comedies, drifts from this style and moves to a different style, which has lots of famous examples, in which real singers had sung and played in movies of that era. However this movie falls beyond expectations, with lots of poor acting (except Özge Özacar) and and fragmented narratives. The movie can be said to be mediocre, except amazing songs made and sang by Ata Demirer himself.

This is a really good work. Comedy, drama, musical all the genres are combined together perfectly..

Ata Demirer is my favorite Turkish comedian, watched most of his movies and I liked it them..

But this one was so special! It's one of those movies I wish it never ends. It never bored me for a second, never took my eyes away from the screen for a second.

Very rich in scenario, and great acting by all actors. Made me laugh a lot and cry as well..

Not to forget, Ata Demirer has an amazing voice, performs musically even better than many famous singers..

He is a very special man, too bad he isn't recognized worldwide, but he is loved by many many..

Well first of all let me clarify the thing i mentioned about that why this movie is seems like most of the typical Turkish movies which those are mostly good movies for The Turks but not have universal entities in it . While you watching it you probably in first few minutes thinking that it's kinda typical movie that tells us about the life of a late middle aged person trying find its pursuit of achivement . But when you keep watching that it tells us a quite in a unique and effective way that ain't drops attention of the viewers . I strongly reccomended you to watch this movie , i try to avoid the not giving spoilers soo the viewer might get fresh and great experience with it . Thanks Ata Demirel for this wonderful movie , i must admit that for his previous movie experiences i just thought that this movies is kind of one of it's smilar and kinda ok movies , but in this movie really his best movie . And also would like to thank Cem Gelinoglu and Ozge Ozacar for their beautiful performances .

It is surprising how Ata managed to get a generation back to their childhoods.

Those times were the ones everyone value the real musicians and stage shows.

Ata Demirer generally prefers to set he scene in small towns to maintain the sincerity of people and the simplicity of the life. Once again, we are on the shore of Agean see which I will never fed up.

I personally, like the cast of the movie. Ozge Ozacar an Cem Gelinoglu fit in their roles however, I need to mention Toygan Avanoglu separately. He is very successful and added a lot of flavor to the film with Dr. Fatih role.

Watch it. It is entertaining with a lot of dramatic scenes as well.

Forgot to mention. Musics were awesome.

Well done Ata.
