Losers' Club (2011)
8/10
A movie that leaves you pondering..
28 December 2019
Most Turkish movies evokes emotions and can be touching but you don't often come across a movie which makes you question. Certainly not to the extent of such deep topics of existence, life and our purpose here.

The two main characters lead an interesting lifestyle and don't take life seriously, at least not in the same sense of most of the society surrounding them. The movie focuses on living life according ones own terms and fulfilment not what society dictates. The characters actually host a radio station for free, because money is not a drive.

Loneliness is probably the key underlying theme, the main characters are lonely, and so are most of their listeners. People long for company and struggle to find people they can relate to, even if they live in a city with millions of other people. This in some ways explains the success of the radio show.

I think the movie explains this brilliantly and leaves viewers questioning their lives and what motivates them.

The character build up is so little that I think it leaves viewers desperate to know more but actually... does it even matter?

This movie is a must watch for the dialogue alone. Casting is just brilliant as Nejat Isler's voice can be listened to for hours even if he's talking BS.
