Iki Gözüm Ahmet

Gani Savata's " iki Gozum Ahmet," which came out almost two decade ago, is he perfect illustration of how unique Turkish cinema can be when it combines elements of Western bio genre films and Anatolian folk dramas. The film has some major flaws, but these are mostly in terms of production. The script and its' direction are fairly crisp, and the acting is quite exceptional. The film features a haunting score, deep symbolism (particularly in the final scenes) and timely social themes. I think the later is one of the reasons why it has not been popular with those who are more unfamiliar with Turkey, but it is this very element which makes the film more than just a routine bio film. The film is also considerably more social than most Turkish films, though many (particularly '70s films of the late Yilmaz Guney) made for brutal cinematic experiences.

Wow. What a truly inspiring film. Made me feel that being eccentric and different is ok as long as you are you! The film brought so many emotions - laughter, sadness, joy - very heart warming. At times I forgot I wasn't actually watching the Ahmet Kaya - Ozgur Tuzer looked so like him. I thought Ozgur rocked the role. Massive respect to this guy! Would happily pay to go back in and watch it again! My film of 2020, the year of pandemi!!!!

I swear if film doesn't get an Oscar for this story, I will be done with movies forever. This movie was so brilliant, nothing dragged, there were no boring parts, no looking at my watch wondering when it'll be over. This is a must see. Even if you're not a Ahmet Kaya fan.

Ahmet Kaya was the best singer in Turkey, and a movie was necessery even it is so late but I liked the movie! You should definetly watch it!

Worst movie ever. If you want to spend your free time lousy watch it. This movie disgrace to the turkish cinema.
