9 Kere Leyla

I don't consider myself a pro on Turkish cinema although I've seen many. However this was by far the worst thing I've ever watched in my entire life (I am 50 by the way) Neither acting nor casting has least to say. Hence, it was "eye-burning!" I'd strongly recommend to turn the source off if you coincide with it.

As an actor and actress Haluk Bilginer and Demet Akbag are the pioneer stars of their genres in Turkey. Ezel Akay unfortunately legated their worst job at the same time both of them. I sensed that he couldn't tie the script up as an all. All the crew in movie probably trusted him. It was a a shame for filmographic past who has a past like Ezel.

This movie is a complete disaster, true dissappointment.

The name Ezel Akay (Ezop), takes place on the top lines of creative cinema lists thanks to his muchly peculiar cinematic langue. Most of his movies have been treated as examples of golden works in Turkey Cinema by many authorities.

But unfortunately this last movie is too far off meeting any audience expectation based on Ezel Akay cinematography.

Although the movie evokes the cinematic grammar of "Neredesin Firuze" (one of Akay's previous successfull works) it fails to catch an adequate dynamic mood which Neredesin Firuze significantly staged and 9 Kere Leyla tries to perform.

-. Inadequate links between mythological significations and political discourse and

-. Failing repetitive jokes which dominate and vanish sub-contents

could be counted as main major problems.

Ben boyle rezil bir senaryo gormedim. Haluk BILGINER disinda tam bir vakit kaybi. Turk yapimlari adina da bir utanc kaynagi.

I have never seen such an outrageous script. Except for Haluk BILGINER, it's a complete waste of time. It is also a source of shame for Turkish productions.
