Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A rom-com with a peculiarly Turkish bent and a leading man only a mother could love... Popular Turkish television writer-director Çağan Irmak (“Çemberimde Gül Oya” & “Asmalı Konak”) proved his popular appeal with this particularly modern take on the somewhat overdone rom-com genre which has a peculiarly Turkish bent making it well worth seeking out for anyone who wants an insight into that country’s attitudes to love and sex. Sleazy young man about town Alper (Cemal Hunal) falls for prim children’s costumer Ada (Melis Birkan) after stalking her back to her shop following a chance encounter in a second hand bookshop and wins her over, discards her for casual sex with prostitutes, falls into depression and with any luck dies alone. Cemal Hunal certainly looks the part of a romantic lead as Alper and is not without his charms but the character he plays is so thoroughly repellent that it is impossible to cheer for him as he attempts to woo the feisty Melis Birkan as Ada, who one can’t help but feel realy should have known better. The brilliant but badly underutilised television actress Yildiz Kültür (“Menekse ile Halil"”) casts her kindly gaze over the project as Alper’s mother in a star making turn at the head of an equally underutilised supporting cast which includes more minor turns from Şerif Bozkurt, Gözde Kansu, Aslı Aybars, Goncagül Sunar and Veda Yurtsever Ä°pek. The filmmakers throws in a fair few laughs, normally at Alpers expense, but these mostly relate to his degenerate sexual escapades and do nothing to endear him to the audience; it is this lack of pathos that was for me this films ultimate undoing as even at the end I could barely shed a tear when the film lived up to its English language title by leaving him alone. “I’m living with tainted blood.” Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
