L'usignolo di Bursa

Before starting the film, I had some prejudice, wondering if this film would be like the others, but it was beyond my expectations, especially in terms of resembling the "Yesilcam" cinema in a positive way.

Although it had many shortcomings in terms of musical aspects, it was emotionally powerful and made one feel the warmth of the past. Although the first 10 minutes were cringe-worthy, the film reached its maximum potential by highlighting the emotional part in the last 30 minutes, and Ata Demirer delivered a decent performance.

We need such films in Turkish cinema because of where it has come to. This film was exactly at that point of need. Although it had a simple scenario, it didn't bore me at least. It wasn't very successful in terms of jokes, but it warmed your heart at the end.

I hope we can blend this emotional power with a much more advanced scenario in another film. It is sufficient for an evening movie.

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 .

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..

The Nightingale of Bursa is a Turkish comedy film directed by Hakan Algül, written by Ata Demirer, and starring Ata Demirer, Cem Gelinoglu and Özge Özacar, released on Disney+ on January 13, 2023.

The movie that I watched with prejudice because of the fact that the names who have been pioneers in terms of comedy in Turkey have been standing still or taking a step back in the last 5 years, is also an indicator of how meticulous Ata Demirel is in his work.

The fact that Gökhan Atmis was chosen as the cinematographer ensured that the movie was 5 steps ahead of "New Year's Eve", which was also screened on Disney+ in the same period.

Gökhan Atmis's technical choices are excellent.

Another plus of the movie is that the movie takes place in the 80s and the art team has done a thorough job in this regard.

In addition to the selection of songs that contain many references to Ata's favorite casino and tavern culture, it is also a very good move to work with a name like Taskin Sabah.

In short, Ata Demirel's The Nightingale of Bursa was by far the best among the comedy works made in the last 10 years.

There are inspirations from many different films and series, but it's a production well below the expected quality. When it's Ata Demirer, a certain amount of laughter and surprising emotional moments are guaranteed, but in this story, I didn't experience funny moments, and the emotional moments also seemed a bit lacking. Probably because we're accustomed to his higher performances, it was an extremely disappointing experience for me. However, we love him, and I'm sure much better ones will come because, frankly, this film feels like it was made on order and just for the sake of it. Even the music quality is below Ata Demirer's standard. He can and he will do better...
