The Girlfriend
4.8/10
This awesome and incredibly rare Turkish/Italian co-production, starts out as a Euro crime outing and quickly turns into a dark and sleazy House on the Edge of the Park type exploitation affair with the villain Ahmet (Piero Fabiani) taking a blind man, his daughter and niece hostage at their mansion and subjecting them to all kinds of mental, physical and sexual abuse. Turkish legend Tarik Akan plays Commissioner Murat who is out to catch Ahmet - even if it means dispensing with the rule book altogether!
The Other Side of Beyoğlu
6.6/10
Reminiscent of Martin Scorsese's 1985 production, After Hours, this film narrates the events of a night in the chaotic backstreets of Beyoğlu in Istanbul. The day he receives his wage, and after arguing with his wife, Haydar (Tarik Akan) leaves the house in a fury and heads to Beyoğlu for a wild night out. However, a prostitute and her pimp bring him such troubles, and he finds himself penniless and in police custody.
