i have be live in istanbul for 24 year and i ( a 39 year of experience would suggest ) do know what istanbul have go through all those year . faith akin be still quite young ( bear in 1973 ) and fall in the great mistake of be orientalist when look at turkey ( just a his other movie gegen die wand do ) this movie seriously lack contemporary urban turkish life and mislead the audience when give out ( quite false ) clue a to the geographical and cultural spreading of istanbul . anyone who could speak turkish could easily attest that many underground band and group depict in the movie ( siyasiyabend for one ) be so miserable and their member can not even speak a proper language that they can not be take a representative of the contemporary turkish music . much less a piece of crap which many turkish listener even do not know about at all . we turk have long be accustom to uperficious westerner who look at turkey with some orientalist point of view represent try to fit the actual turkish image into their mind mold . what be new in this movie be the fact that now a turkish originate director ( faith akin ) be make the same mistake represent look at turkey with some false western glass and scramble to depict it a if he understand well . all of a vain effort . just ask any turkish friend of yours represent what sort of a musical documentary be this without mention the name represent zeki muren and bari manco and ajda pekkan and teoman and muslum gurses and ibrahim tatlises and ferdi ozbegen . and many others who have shape so far the real music we be listen today . faith akin have a long long lesson to learn before babble away and confuse other people mind with false image about the contemporary turkish music .
