I have become an Engin Günaydın fan since I recognized him at Avrupa Yakası sit-com. In fact he was already known with his acting before among many TV watchers. What he does now is he embarks on script writing and adds more talents to his career. There are many vulgar Turkish comedy films around in recent years. This is not a comedy per se but adds some drama and thriller with intelligence (reminding early Fargo Brother movies).
In the years of pulse, Turkey was unable to produce its own cars. But Pasha believed that Turkish people can produce their own cars so he ordered 2 cars. Gunduz and engineers with him must produce 2 cars in only 130 days!
I am not sure about the cinematic quality but this movie have chosen such a heart-breaking topic. It is a great work of art that represents how idealist Republican ideals were killed off by the Republican bureaucracy in Turkey. Naivete of early Turkish aspirations…
In the Loop reminds me Wag the Dog slightly in case of media manipulation and it can also be listed among the movies that criticize how masses were manipulated in the start of Iraqi invasion…
A British style foul-mouthed comedy that must not be missed.
