Çöpçüler Krali

It is one of the most famous Kemal Sunal movies.

Kemal Sunal is always enjoyable to watch.

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.

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

What makes this movie great is definitely it's music and the cast. Kemal Sunal, Sener Sen and partially Aysen Gruda play a great role on the movie's fame. But in fact apart from a few scenes it's below average among its generation. Humor and tragedy showed up in balance but both are not that effective. Characters carries those tragedies and comedies alone. It becomes cult in Turkish Cinema but unfortunately it's not even close the quality of Neseli Gunler or Tosun Aga or such... As I mentioned above Ozdemir Erdogan's Gurbet plays such a great role for the fame of the movie. It becomes one of my favorite yesilcam song all times.

See Istanbul and its social life with a breathtaking flood!
