Review of Tosun Pasa

Tosun Pasa (1976)
10/10
An all time comedy classic...
23 June 2005
This movie is filled with star actors and actresses. Even the side roles are played by famous stars. Kemal Sunal acts his similar fool role, but still it is really funny. I would always prefer this movie to most of todays best comedies. Sener Sen is another star of this movie, playing his usual "smart looking but not really smart" guy role. And there is Adile Nasit, singing the very funny converted song in the Turkish bath. Of course, Mujde Ar is very pretty in this title, combining her fabulous beauty with young age. This movie uses a technique used in classical Turkish theater. the technique is called "orta oyunu" and it is the most basic and still funny way of comedy. These movies always take a nice rating on TV. Too bad that they would not be as good when translated to other languages. The actors and actresses are all classics. There aren't many actors as talented and devoted to cinema as them. Turkish cinema industry didn't produce another Kemal Sunal or another Adile Nasit. I wish that everybody finds a chance and watches this movie. I watch it every time they show it on the TV and I enjoy it again and again, like the first time. Even though some people don't like this movie (they hate all the classics), I can always put my bet on this one, or many other titles including the similar actors.
