These Are Very Movie-like Moves (Çok Filim Hareketler Bunlar) (translated)

Movie · 2010 · 4 people

With musical touches, the colour Turkish comedy Çok Filim Hareketler Bunlar was released on 26 March 2010. Ozan Açıktan directed it from a script by Eser Yenenler and Oğuzhan Koç. It grew out of the BKM theatre troupe Mutfak's stage work and the television programme Çok Güzel Hareketler Bunlar, carrying the same sketch approach to the big screen with comic predicaments of the summer holidays. About 1,141,448 people saw it, making it one of the most-watched Turkish films of 2010.

Rather than one plot, nine separate summer stories share a single film, an approach billed as untried in Turkish cinema. They follow people who chase only love on holiday, those who cannot travel and battle mosquitoes at home, day-trippers who meet the sea only for a day, holidaymakers who fly off, and those still walking on air as the holiday ends and school resumes. The cast includes Yılmaz Erdoğan (the Director), İbrahim Büyükak, Şahin Irmak (Kazım), Büşra Pekin (Hatice), Gülsüm Alkan, Şevket Süha Tezel (Yusuf), Aydan Taş and Ayça Erturan; Yenenler and Koç also appear on screen.

It runs 134 minutes. Necati Akpınar produced, Deniz Erdoğan wrote the music, Ahmet Sesigürgil shot it, and Medyavizyon distributed it.

Through different eyes

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

Summer holidays are something everyone knows, so everyone at home finds a bit of themselves here: people battling mosquitoes, day trips to the sea, the back-to-school rush. The sketches are short and there's no single story to follow, which makes it easy for kids. But the film runs 134 minutes, and little ones may get bored halfway. Some of the jokes speak more to teenagers. A good fit for families with teens.

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

Gathering nine separate summer stories into one film is a bold structural choice, and it carries its own risk. The sketch logic the Mutfak troupe built on stage and on television turns into a rhythm problem on the big screen: each segment carries its own set-up and punchline, so the narrative doesn't build, it just lines up. That is why the 134-minute running time weighs so heavily; trimming a few stories in the edit would have tightened the whole. On the other hand, Ozan Açıktan makes good use of the ensemble's natural chemistry, and Deniz Erdoğan's music lends the musical moments a light cheer. Reaching over a million admissions shows the formula carried its TV appeal into cinemas; that it found a cinematic language, I can't really say.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

Honestly, this isn't really my genre, but the sketch format saves the pace. If one story doesn't grab you, a new one turns up a few minutes later. Anyone expecting tension or big set pieces will be disappointed; it's all built on laughs. The problem is that 134 minutes is far too long for a comedy, and the pace really sags toward the end. Fine for a laid-back evening with friends.
