Love Is Red (Aşk Kırmızı)

Osman Sınav wrote and directed Aşk Kırmızı ("Love Is Red"), a Turkish drama and romance from 2013. It opened in cinemas on March 15, 2013, and is built around the question "can there be love between three people?" Sınav has worked in the industry since the early 1980s and is best known for successful television series.

Ferhat and Zeynep appear, from the outside, to share a happy marriage, until Nazlıgül, the first love Ferhat left behind years ago, comes back into their lives. Ferhat and Nazlıgül cannot resist each other, and Zeynep learns she has been betrayed and asks whether she could ever share the husband she loves with another woman. In a triangle where everyone is in some way innocent, the affection Zeynep and Nazlıgül feel for each other makes the usual answers about loyalty and rivalry look less certain. Nurgül Yeşilçay, Tayanç Ayaydın and Ezgi Asaroğlu play the leads, with Teoman Kumbaracıbaşı, Sait Genay, Şebnem Dilligil, Renan Karagözoğlu and Ayda Aksel in the cast.

Reaction on release was lukewarm at best: press and audience ratings stayed low, and critics aimed most of their objections at the screenplay, calling it a film that reminds viewers how much a script matters. It runs one hour fifty-four minutes.
