Anayurt Oteli

Kavur's beste film spectacular , Marvel lovers don't understand. Speak for yourself Not say "we are turk"

A three stories, fourteen rooms manor facing the street that leads from station square to main street of the city (indeed Manisa). Once built on the Greek neighbourhood by great grandfather of Zebercet (Olivine). Luckily rescued from the fire of 1922. But after that, the family decides to move to Izmir and the father of Zebercet insists on turning it into a hotel. Zebercet, the clerk and present owner of the hotel after his father, born in 1930 in the big room (now No.1) in the ground floor (now the lobby).

One day a beautiful woman stays there one night and leaves to "visit again within a week or so" and Zebercet starts to wait for this unknown but seemingly long-waited woman who came with delayed Ankara train, as he has been waiting this Kafkaesque manor and the dead. He keeps waiting for her. He gradually loses track of daily life. And hotel goes into a deterioration as if implying psychological decline of its proprietor.

This based-on-a-novel film is the most striking story of loneliness, alienation and depression in Turkish cinema. It tells the conflict of individual in a repressive society, sexual isolation and distortion of personality.

Yusuf Atilgan, Omer Kavur, Macit Koper and The Cure. An amazing staff. An amazing adaptation. An amazing work of art. Literally "a movie dedicated to loneliness". In this sense, it is very faithful to the work to which it is adapted. Anyone who says they love cinema should watch it.

A beautiful Ömer Kavur film that questions human psychology and the effects of forced loneliness in the simplest and most honest way. And I will pay more attention to the towels.

Such a bad acting, lights, sound and music for a 1987 year made movie. The novel is pretty good and obscure but thid adaptation doesn not reflete at all the atmosphere.

Dialogues are literally taken word by word from the novel which makes the adaptation harder.

Passage from a scene to another are really awkward and make difficult to follow.

It reminded me of how mediocre was the adaptation of 'The Stranger' novel by Camus to the cinema . This is no exception To resume, a poor adaptation which doesn't stand the test of tlme...

Nothlng genius in thls movle, not one thlng.
