GORA filminde ilk kez kullanıp daha sonra 1970’li yılların sinema seks furyasının ikonu haline dönüşmüş Erşan Kuneri’yi düzenin, sistemin istediği kişiye dönüştüren Cem […]
Sosyal mesaj vermeyi seven, filmciliğin ülkemizdeki serüvenine saygı duyan, Yeşilçam’ı çalışma koşullarıyla birlikte set ruhunu öne çıkararak güzelleyen bir Yılmaz var.

“Wolfs”, which was released on Apple TV+ in a few days ago, works best whenever it simply focuses on whatever is exchanged between its two charismatic star actors.

Wolfs (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Two fixers stuck with each other
Rodrigo Moreno’s The Delinquents is not a heist film, but it does begin with an elaborate bank robbery. It is not exactly a thriller, either, though it borrows from plenty of the tropes you’d find in an exciting thriller film with a heist as its centerpiece.

MUHAMMED NOUSHAD reviews Fatih Akin’s documentary Crossing the Bridge: The Sound of Istanbul. Turkish music is irresistibly intoxicating. The more you listen to it, the more it binds you inside. Once you begin to indulge in its soothing pleasure, it engages you to endless entrapment. Here, modernity cohabits with tradition as in the historic city…
