Queer World (1988)
7/10
A highlight for 80's Ankara society and overall Turkey.
27 August 2023
About 80s Ankara night club culture and the socio-economic structure of the country through the eyes of the clarinetist nicknamed "DütDüt". It is a film that makes us smile with its dialogues and smacks in the face for reminding that we couldn't have made any progress in nearly 40 years with its subtext. Perhaps one of Kemal Sunal's most serious works. In his other films, he mostly makes us laugh, but this one has more subtext than others. It is also a good film for people like me who were born in Ankara in 80's and don't have any memory about the city at all. The night club culture of the 80's and 90's of Ankara was a whole new ball game... :)
