Ahmet Rıfat Şungar — Biography

Ahmet Rıfat Şungar has worked in both cinema and television drama since around 2006. He drew the attention of film circles and audiences with the role of İsmail in Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Üç Maymun (Three Monkeys); today he plays Faruk Sezeri in Eşref Rüya on Kanal D and continues to appear in Netflix's Kimler Geldi Kimler Geçti.

Raised in Kartal, he finished Kartal Süleyman Demirel Anatolian High School and then graduated from the Theatre Department of the Istanbul University State Conservatory. He began his screen career around 2006 with the film Janjan and the series Kaybolan Yıllar, then appeared in series such as Hatırla Sevgili and Asi. After Üç Maymun came Şevket in Beş Şehir and the Yörükkaya watchman in Gözetleme Kulesi. On television in the 2010s he played Vecihi Hürkuş in Vatanım Sensin, Emre in Kadın and Mustafa in Yüz Yüze.

Their work through different eyes

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Ahmet Rıfat Şungar follows a consistent line in cinema: Nuri Bilge Ceylan twice, with İsmail in Üç Maymun and Rıza in Ahlat Ağacı, then Pelin Esmer in Gözetleme Kulesi and Yeşim Ustaoğlu in Tereddüt. In my view this marks an actor to whom auteur directors return rather than a popular face, and long, dialogue-heavy films such as Ahlat Ağacı are what test that kind of acting.

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

Vecihi Hürkuş in Vatanım Sensin, Emre in Kadın, Faruk Sezeri in Eşref Rüya: Ahmet Rıfat Şungar's television side moves between period drama, psychological thriller and the world of organized crime. In my view television gives him this wide range but does not make room for a character the way Ceylan's films do; what is interesting in the series is how credible he stays from genre to genre.
