Featured reviews
Komser Sekspir is one of his better works. It's certainly not as bad as Bay E or Propaganda. Yet even that is thanks to the magnificent preformances of Kadir Inanýr and Okan Bayülgen, two actors that I usually extremely dislike. Yet, just like all Cetin's other movies, it has little, in fact no cinematic worth, neither does it manage to bring anything new. True, the movie definetly has some hilariously funny parts, but it does not go above that. I guess the normal audience will absolutely love the movie, as it is the equilevent of say, Armageddon, in a twisted way. For the more intellectual watcher though, it will give nothing than a few light moments and some good acting. Go watch Yilmaz Erdogan's Vizontele instead.
Komiser Sekspir is one of the several movies Sinan Cetin directed over the years, ranging from bad to very bad, and Cetin fails once more. He is a spoiled, pretentious, unimaginative demagogue with no decent story-telling skills, and he generally builds his movies around empty, overly-populist, lumpen, pseudo-critiques of the 'system'.
The movie is badly written, actors -although experienced and talented- run around like headless chickens, plot (if there is one) is full of holes, and jokes are devoid of taste and wit. Do not see it under any circumstances, even if your life depends on it. Seriously.
KEY BAYULGEN MOMENT Absolutely the last scene, where Tatu plays a part from his old child-star days, but unexpectedly, an audience remembers him, The Little Hayati, and he is greeted with applause of the all audience. Bayulgen wonderfully reflects the feelings of that moment and I watch this movie over and over again only for this scene.
