karyaozmen The bitter facing of the good and the bad.The story is told in a different way. Normally the story line starts with introduction followed by development and then the conclusion. but in this movie this is a little bit different and this makes the movie unique. In this movie the order is like this: introduction, conclusion, development. A short introduction, a ferocious conclusion and a long development. It does not bore or let the viewer down. On the contrary it makes you open your eyes widely and watch it without blinking. The actress Binnur Kaya who appears as the electrician Celal's wife Sevilay performs wonderful scenes. Also Engin Gunaydin shows us how it is to be a bad person without regretting. A breathtaking black humor. And the family with an absolutely diabolical father, with an angel mother and their teenager son who got stuck in between.

port 5 Vavien is one of the rare (if not the only) dark humor experiences in Turkish cinema. The movie delivers evil in a naive way, just as might be expected from a life in a small town. Surely, the films strongly stands on its excellent cast. However there are some problems with the script. At least, at some point it becomes unclear that what kind of realism the directors wanted to deliver to the viewers (the scene where Sevilay kicks off the door and enters in a very caricature way). Cinematography is nice but the same does not go for the audio. I also think that the soundtrack is not on the strong side neither here. All in all, this is a satisfactory dark humor flick...this is, of course, if you like the genre.

rgslinger The movie was praised greatly by the Turkish critics at first.. Apparently that was a trick to "attract audience". Movie-goers who watched this movie in movie theaters must have soon noticed that this movie was overrated and informed their friends accordingly..This is why the box-office of this "cheaty trick" remained so low.Engin Günaydin is good at one thing though: LOOKING & BEING A LOSER probably because he is one.But being a loser and depicting a loser's life in cinema are not enough to make a "movie", let alone a good one.Here are the FACTS about this movie:1- SOUND is awful. Sometimes I failed to understand what they are saying at all (mind you , I'm a native Turkish speaker and I had a DVD in my hand to re-play whenever I feel like it)2- I am disgusted to see a teenager jerking-off on the screen3- The script is full of incoherences., starting with the name of the movie. There are many "what if"s 4- The man tries to kill his wife and goes unpunished with it? Thanks for the moral lesson Engin Günaydin... We didn't expect anything better from you anyway 5- The woman (who fell off the cliff and presumed 'dead' reappears at the door days and days later. But her face & body is still covering bruises and her clothes are ragged. So are we, the audience, supposed to be so dumb as to buy such a cheap trick when cinema techniques are so sophisticated today?6- Does anybody understand why (at the end of the movie) the man came to be at peace with his wife (which he had wanted to kill) and his son (which he despised all along the movie) Apparently the Taylan brothers, in an effort to make up a "happy ending" just crashed down all the rules of script writing and film making.I personally pity on all those who would like to see this movie on his/her own dime and tries to make sense of it.

Seemp deHond I'm not getting into artsy fartsy cinematic details since sometimes a movie is an entertainment watch. And this one is indeed your money's worth of very entertaining dark comedy from Turkey. It might start a little slow but that is the only criticism here and i only mention it so you know it's going to get better quickly. All together the subtle humour and the sinister plot are very well balanced. The characters are so delightful in their naivety or down right evilness. It all has the classic elements of a solid dark satire: clean-cut characters, secrets that bite them in the ass and surprising plot twists that make you snicker and chuckle in malicious delight.
