Karakomik Filmler: 2 Arada

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).

Lots of people says Cem Yilmaz screwed up on Karakomik project but I liked the concept. 2 Arada is a powerful movie. It was fun. I really support Yilmaz about what he is trying to do on this one.

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.

I didn't go to the cinema because of many negative criticisms when the movie came out. Now i watched at home. I regret. I wish I had seen it in the cinema. I would like to support.

Since he's a comedian, people want him to make comedy movies all the time. This movie is called "comedy - drama" in IMDB as i see. This movie was shown as 2 different films at the same session (2 movies that are 1 hour long.), so probably the "comedy" was the second movie. I haven't watched the second one yet.

A movie worth watching, with secret references.

Cem Yilmaz is well known with his comedy movies but he tried different staff in Karakomik series. Apparently he wanted to give meaning to his work by creating dramatic stories and using strong personalities. I have got the message the Karakomik wants to give. Even if it could be better in some ways, Karakomik was a nice drama.
