How every film is hand-scored →

Recep Ivedik has been depressed since the death of his grandmother. Everyone who tries to help him fails. A young girl named Zeynep, who can't find an apartment, stays with Recep. Initially, the two can't stand each others but after a while, they grow close. Despite many adventures together, Recep's depression won't go away. That is until he experiences something he had never experienced before.

Our read · Recep Ivedik 3 (2010) reads as a warm, breathless, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook. Hand-scored on twelve axes of taste — mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, stakes, humour, reality, density, warmth, auteur, intensity, and era — with a derived palette drawn from its dominant cinematography.

If Recep Ivedik 3 is your film
Recep İvedik 2 (2009)
Same loud Turkish everyman chaos and Istanbul misadventures
(You want the grief-and-roommate arc here)
G.O.R.A. (2004)
Blockbuster Turkish comedy with lovable oaf energy
(You want grounded contemporary Istanbul, not sci-fi)
Borat (2006)
Crass outsider comedy that still finds oddball heart
(You cannot stomach deliberately offensive humor)
