I Love You, Rosa (Seni Seviyorum Rosa) (translated)

Işıl Özgentürk wrote and directed Seni Seviyorum Rosa (I Love You, Rosa), a Turkish drama. It reached audiences on September 18, 1992, and was Özgentürk's first feature. It is based on Sevgi Soysal's 1968 novel Tante Rosa, which won an Achievement Award at the 1970 TRT Arts Awards Competition. The film was also shown at the SineMardin festival in Mardin.

At its center is Rosa, who lives without being able to learn or teach anything in life. The narrative uses the historical fabric of Istanbul as a magnifying glass and follows her comings and goings between dreams and reality. Sumru Yavrucuk plays Rosa and Hande Meşe plays her as a child. In the cast Taner Barlas plays the Count, Mahir Günşiray the Violinist, Güzin Özyağcılar Rosa's mother, Selçuk Erez her father and Alişan Çapan the Prince of Dreams; Ayla Algan, Müjdat Gezen, Yaman Okay and Refik Durbaş also appear. Some roles were also given to non-professional actors.

Ali Özgentürk produced the film for Asya Film. The music is by Thesia Panayiotou and the cinematographer is Ertunç Şenkay. Mustafa Ziya Ülkenciler handled the art direction and Mevlüt Koçak the editing. It was shot in color on 35 mm and runs about 90 minutes.
