    Great to watch a Turkish-language movie produced in Iran

    Finally I watched a Turkish-language movie produced in Iran. Ismail Munsif (Monsef) has done an excellent work. The scenario was great. I loved the language and the dialogues, even-though the scenarist and the actors have never received education in Turkish, their mother tongue.

    I can't wait to watch other Turkish-language language movies produced in Iran, including Atabay (Atabai), Deri (Skin) and Ev (Home).

    Hopefully, we can see more Turkish-language movies from Iran. There are so many untold stories in Iran's Turkish-populated regions, particularly Iranian Azerbaijan.
