Karakomik Filmler: 2 Arada

2 Arada, which is a medium-length film, is a more drama-weighted film than the other film of the series. Examining the life and character of Ayzek, the main character of the movie, the film also conveys to the audience how dangers and greed will cause when combined with power. Cem Yilmaz was with a different character this time. The master actor also made his experience in this movie and a more successful work emerged compared to the other movie of the series.

Yes, these two are not typical Cem Yilmaz movies, so those expecting something like Arif v 216 or Yahsi Bati may well be disappointed -BUT, the teasers and pretty much everything Cem Yilmaz said about these films in advance had already told us that he was doing something new, something different than his earlier works and masterpieces. The first movie of the Kara Komik Filmler series, 2 Arada, is a unique film and the character, "Ayzek" shines like a star. I don't want to share even the slightest spoiler here, so I'll just say: we love you, Ayzek! I think those who see cinema as mostly commercial/simple fun may find 2 Arada rather dull, but those who respect and appreciate the 7th art will like it. As for the second movie, Kacamak, well, it does make you laugh with a cast we all love, but it's not as powerful and unique as 2 Arada. However, the production, visuals and overall quality is praiseworthy, as is the case with any other Cem Yilmaz movie to date. All in all, I liked the 'single ticket for two films' concept, and liked 2 Arada more than Kacamak, and I'll definitely be seeing the 3rd and 4th movies of the Kara Komik Filmler series in January 2020. Hats of to Cem Yilmaz for his courage in unique works and significantly higher quality films in Turkish cinema -he really is good at competing with himself

P.S: I think one of the problems with Kacamak was the inadequate English language skills of the actress portraying Carolyn (Nilperi Sahinkaya) versus the native speaker actors and Alisan Ugur (Rich).

Very good shots, character development, story telling and set design. By far the best movie of Cem Yilmaz as various aspects are concerned. Good depiction of the Faustian bargains we make each day as we try to meander the tough rules of the work life.

It is obvious that most people watched this movie as straight logic. However, the film has a deep meaning under the subject it offers. In particular, the stress and trauma experienced by the people working in the periphery on the smallest issue is explained. Maybe we do not even worry about such simple issues like these people, but this is not the same for people who live a limited life.

This is simply great. It actually feels very real even though it's very absurd. Cem Yilmaz wrote a great script about very ordinary man's life and yet he made it interesting. I love the whole 60 mins of 2 movies concept. And those moveis are really Comidark.
