Çöpçüler Krali

Yes. Unfortunately this movie is unknown by the world. People just know global movie makers productions or awarded movies by authorities such as Oscar Awards. But I bet most of Turkish movies especially acted by Kemal Sunal and Sener Sen could beat most of them if they joined the same competition with others. On the other hand these movies have to have English subtitles or dubbing English for going international.

What makes this movie great is definitely it's music and the cast. Kemal Sunal, Sener Sen and partially Aysen Gruda play a great role on the movie's fame. But in fact apart from a few scenes it's below average among its generation. Humor and tragedy showed up in balance but both are not that effective. Characters carries those tragedies and comedies alone. It becomes cult in Turkish Cinema but unfortunately it's not even close the quality of Neseli Gunler or Tosun Aga or such... As I mentioned above Ozdemir Erdogan's Gurbet plays such a great role for the fame of the movie. It becomes one of my favorite yesilcam song all times.

See Istanbul and its social life with a breathtaking flood!

It is one of the most famous Kemal Sunal movies.

Kemal Sunal is always enjoyable to watch.

This movie is a quite well-made critisizm and research of the daily lives of people of Istanbul, and how the social status of a person doesn't affect their personality, how smart or kind they are or how much better they are than other members of a society.
