adonis98-743-186503 The epic adventures of the legendary Baran the Bandit following his release from prison. After serving 35 years, it is no surprise that the world has changed dramatically. Eskiya is a Turkish 1996 drama and to be honest it's really not that good and i'm very disappointed to see how many actually bad films are inside the list of the Top 250 films of all time. The movie has a storyline that i wasn't attracted to, the characters and the acting was not good and worst of them all? It needed to be lower on it's running time cause it really wasn't special. (0/10)
tugay_ture Very amazing and very dramatic a film ,the film is deeply affecting people,a movie with real life stories ,texture historical structure and images are wonderful
Midyetava "Eşkiya" has a very questioning style with superb acting. The movie is clearly questioning if bandits could be "good", contrary to the known prejudice.;) "Baran", the leading character as a former bandit (eşkiya in Turkish), is someone that represents the 'dying good', still 'pursueing' his one and only love, but the story is still not a love story, on the contrary questioning the todays shallow look on morality, the conflict of east and west in a very Turkish way.Namely and truly romantic.Şener Şen, as one of the best actors in Turkish cinema is at his best.Uğur Yücel, is doing a remarkable job.You should see this one if not already.Turkish cinema influenced by "west", thinking of especially the last scene, which is 'still' worth seeing... ;)Erkan Oğur, a phenomenon for modern Turkish music, is one of the people that "make" the last scene... His name should be remembered if someone talks about this movie anywhere, anytime. ;)
akinburak ...Turkish film sector made a great progress with "Eskiya". Following the footsteps, award winning films were shot. Eg. Faith Akin in Berlin. The film is also important as it took attraction from abroad. Ugur Yucel the leading actor of "Eskiya" is one of the most important players in Turkey. Also Sener SEN is the top leading artists of Turkey. He is very famous all over the country. This film is not the peak point of Sener SEN but he makes the film top rated in my opinion. ...Turkish film sector made a great progress with "Eskiya".
