Their work through different eyes

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

Mert Uçar, brother of the lead in Ezel, Tuğcan in the sitcom Kardeş Payı, Şehzade Ahmet Nuri Efendi in Payitaht Abdülhamid: Kemal Uçar moves from action to comedy to history, yet in all three series he is the character beside the lead. The nearest he comes to a lead is the title role in Yamak Ahmet.

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

In Tut Sözünü Kemal Uçar writes the screenplay and plays Bahadır, the calm, mild man who meets the ghost of his reckless friend. That the writer kept the less showy half for himself is, in my view, worth noting; the film seems to build its comic rhythm on reaction.
