9 vite come Leyla

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.

He is one of most appreciated actor for me, also Demet Akbag... I finished the movie for them... unfortunately i'm so disappointed too much in this movie... Maybe, I excepted too much after haven seen their names... I love them, so, why I've given 2 "stars" ...

A movie that excited the cast but disappointed with its content

This movie is a failed attempt to create a warm and entertaining atmosphere with many shades of orange. The way the scenes follow one another makes you feel exhausted by the time the movie ends. I would gladly watch a two-hour movie in which Haluk Bilginer and Demet Akbag would just sit and talk across a table with a Galata view on the background. Any point for the conversation would do because both of them are so talented and experienced that only recording them with a smart phone camera (even recording vertically) while they are chatting would do fine for most viewers.

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.
