Kibar Feyzo

One of the best Turkish comedies forever!

I have just watched millions of comedies but this is one of the funniest and most intelligent I've ever seen. Most of the American ‚New Hollywood' comedies are silly and too simple in my opinion. Nothing compares to ‚Kibar Feyzo'. 80 minutes entertainment!

Kemal Sunal alias Kibar Feyzo (in English: ‚the gentle Feyzo') is a good and naive guy from a village in Turkey. He wants to marry a girl, but her father (Ihsan Yüce, who also wrote the script) is against this marriage as long as Feyzo does not pay for his daughter, an old traditional deal in the past of Turkey. Feyzo does not have any money, so he tries everything to get his girl. He earns money in Istanbul, fights against the morality, learns a lot of things in Istanbul, e.g. that you can earn some money with a lavatory. So he builds a lavatory in his village (with some pieces of wood), but ‚Maho' (Sener Sen), a so-called mayor of the village, destroys everything Feyzo wants to do...

The story has original twists and wonderful moments. It's about emancipation, told in a very funny way. Great characters, great performances and a lot of original gags.

It's hard not to fall in love with this most wanted comedy of Turkey's 70's.

This movie is a 10/10. It is a pity that the English speaking world does not know about Kemal Sunal. In fact a Kemal Sunal is missing in the Western world, his artistic ability is unattainable by any other actor or actress I have seen. Deepest reverence for what he has brought to the Turkish comedy.

The movie has great messages. If you watch it even now, you will enjoy it a lot. The toilet scene was epic. Watching Kemal Sunal movies is always enjoyable.

This film is revolutionary against the long lasting 'agalik' system in the 90s, 80s and beforehand. Similar to feodalism, the 'aga' controls every thing in the peasants' lives, even their bedroom. Feyzo, gülo and aney(mother) resist against the system and 'aga'.

This is one of the best movies ever made !!! It is very funny and coevally it shows the real life in the east of turkey at the 1970's. But its unbelievable funny :-))) "Feyzo" finished the army and comes back to his town, where he wants to marry with "Gülo". But there are some intricacies. His mother don't want to pay the bullocks and the money which Gülo's father wants for "Gülo", because at this time it was tribe for the people. The other problem is "Bilo", he started and finished the army at the same time like "Feyzo", and he wants to marry with Gülo, too. But "Gülo" loves "Feyzo"! But he can forget all of this before one man don't give his OK, he is the merciless chief of the village, "Maho Aga".
