Do Not Disturb

Cem Yilmaz worked hard to be taken seriously by the cinema community. He shot works that moved away from juicy comedy. But it wasn't successful until this movie. This movie was my favorite Cem Yilmaz movie. The Aztec character also attracted attention in the series of dark comic films, he was the most interesting character of the series. But the surreal version of the movie was bad and boring. In this movie, everything falls into place. The side characters are colorful and interesting, and the sense of humor is on point. In this movie, the surreal dream scenes were reduced and it was better. They shot a perfect Netflix project. It has both a fun and social message. The atmosphere is very nice. I've always praised it, but don't expect an unforgettable masterpiece. It's just a good movie.

I am 50 years old and love this pitch black comedy drama. Colors, music, dialogs get me into an abyss. As the movie goes deeper on sequence, main character Isaac puts me into an unrest feeling, thrill. Almost having the same feelings, stress like Isaac. Very well staged, played. Isaac character could be the combination of well observed characters Cem encountered in his early life in Beyoglu, Taksim. This becomes my favorite movie among all his productions. Good is not always beautiful, i think this could be the motto of this movie. A mind opener, table top, extravagant painting this movie is. 1.

There is a lot of similarities between The Joker and Do Not Disturb. Colors, lightnings, angles ect. Ect. Both films have the subject of a "stage of insanity." Also, this film got a reference to the character "Joker" in a scene where Ayzek and the girl when they smoke in front of the hotel. So it is no secret. But if we say this is a bad Joker copycat it could be unfair.

The details about the "hotel business" is insanely correct. Ayzek getting the wrong name tag at the first scene, being a bad hotel's night manager makes him smoke so often, no one is coming for check-in ect. Everything you see about the hotel business is very correct.

Characters felt very real and I like the scenario.

Only problem about the film is, it really doesn't feed the expectations with that final and I was expecting something big at the end. My suggestion, if the final is going to be the worst part of the film, don't try to make one.

Also what was the part about Ayzek felt down to that car? If it was Davut's room, what did we see? I think it's not connected to somewhere that is a problem, because you gave so much clue but there is no puzzle.

In total it could be one of the best films ever made in Turkish cinema but it could be better and if someone going to do that, who could be better than Cem Yilmaz?

If there is more given, than more expected.

If you think that this will be your average Turkish feel-good movie - think again... The start, even up until half of the movie, takes you one way to then take on a veeery dark twist, because anguish has just entered the building as a guest - a crazy night at a Turkish motel indeed.

I would definitely recommend this movie to everyone who wants to be a bit surprised. Nice camera work and the actors have also been well-chosen. Deals with many currently relevant topics like social media and mental health. Liked the fact that I had no idea how exactly this movie is going to end - definitely not predictable!

If you follow the interviews of CY, you will see a lot of references to his personal views on people / typologies in social media. The subject and the flow of the story is nice.

I just did not like the parts related to the academician character. I found them too didactive and a little bit cliche.

Another explicitly cliche story was reference to the violence against woman.

If CY stops this didactive attitude, his movies will be much much better. He says he doesn't care much what critics say, but I think he cares too much and this causes him to be not totally free with the story.

The dance scene in pharmacy is epic!
