Turkish filmmaker Mustafa Altioklar ("Ağır Roman" & "Beyza'nın Kadınları") followed his feature debut "Denize Hançer Düştü" with this curios retelling of the legendary tale of the Ottoman Turkish brothers Hezârfen Ahmed and Lagari Hasan Çelebi who according to a brief mention in the works of the notoriously unreliable Evliyâ Çelebi achieved the first manned glider and rocket flight respectively in the early 17th century.
The affable Ege Aydan puts in a fine performance as the eccentric polymath, with strong support from Okan Bayülgen as his apparently deranged brother, the gorgeous Beatriz Rico as his Italian love interest, Savas Ay as his drinking companion, Haluk Bilginer as the dubious narrator and a 1996 Ankara International Film Festival Best Supporting Actor winning turn from Burak Sergen as the Sultan.
The director has little to build on with these supposedly great historical events apparently only warranting a couple of lines in the travelogue of a single writer but many Turks still cling to them as gospel and here they are spun out into a cheap and cheerful epic of the inspired scientist pursuing a dream in defiance of the rulers that is sure to inspire the nation if not the cynical outsider.
There is a mystery other than all those solved so far.
