this film tells the story of a genre director trying his best to break the stalemate of a career he finds himself in, at the transitional point from yeşilçam to modern turkish cinema. and like i said before, movies about making movies are my favorite thing ever. genuinely great and thoughtful, rivals the likes of woody allen in every regard except perversion and sexual abuse. that could be a good thing tho i don't know. also when that character who watches movies all day with his pet turtle and eats old bread mixed with rakı from a bowl, i felt attacked personally.
