Featured reviews
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.
It is one of the most famous Kemal Sunal movies.
Kemal Sunal is always enjoyable to watch.

Kemal Sunal is (arguably) the greatest actor in the history of Turkish comedy films. As being a huge fan of his films and acting skills, i don't remember how many times i have watched this movie -must be more than 20- ,but i'm ready to see it again. copculer krali means "king of the garbage men" in English, both kemal sunal and another comedy great sener sen definitely shine in this comedy masterpiece.. this is a film about a naive poor garbage man (k. sunal-as apti), falling in love with his chief's (sener sen) fiancée. his chief hates him and his fiancée knows that apti is in love with her, so she uses his love to force the chief to marry her..apti may be naive but he is also an unstopping troublemaker to his chief as he unconsciously does many things to make him go insane.. great comedy and portrait of 70's turkey
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.
