10/10
A Life For Freedom Under Oppression
24 October 2024
The movie is not only about the life of Cem Karaca, one of Turkey's most iconic male voices, particularly in the late 70s and 80s, but also about the socio-political backdrop of that era. During this period, Turkish youth were calling for more democracy and freedom, while facing state oppression and bomb attacks by clandestine groups. In a way, the film serves as a profile of the political climate in Turkey during the 70s and 80s. Cem Karaca, with his distinctive voice and unique style, has always held a special place in people's hearts. His struggle, both in music and politics, has been widely admired and respected. The direction is skillful, and the cast is outstanding. The performances of Ismail Hacioglu, Fikret Kuskan, and Yasemin Yalcin are exceptional, and the screenplay is well-balanced. I highly recommend this movie.
