Nausea (Bulantı)

Zeki Demirkubuz wrote and directed Nausea (Bulantı), a Turkish drama in which he also plays the lead. A psychological and emotional story, it opened on October 2, 2015, and runs 116 minutes. Demirkubuz has said he found no actor willing to do the film's love scenes, so he played Ahmet himself. He calls it his most personal work, since it carries a piece of himself. The credits name Jean-Paul Sartre as the source author.

At its center is Ahmet, a man who does "intellectual work" and thinks highly of himself. The night he spends with his lover, his wife and little daughter die in a traffic accident, but as someone who cares for no one and bows to nothing he carries on, barely touched by the loss. After a while, for no visible reason, odd mishaps arrive one after another, his bonds with the women he loves sour, and he shows weaknesses nobody expected of him.

Şebnem Hassanisoughi (Neriman) and Öykü Karayel (Aslı) share the other leads, and Çağlar Çorumlu (Beşir), Ercan Kesal (the Doctor), Kaan Turgut (Selçuk), Cemre Ebüzziya (Özge) and Nurhayat Kavrak (Elif) are also in the cast. Producers are Başak Emre and Ahmet Boyacıoğlu, the cinematographer is Türksoy Gölebeyi, and Mavi Film made it. Critics reacted largely negatively.
