About Yavuz Sultan Selim Ağlıyor
The film tells the story of Yavuz Sultan Selim, who went on a campaign to the East after ascending the throne. Grand Vizier Ali Pasha wants Prince Ahmet to succeed Sultan Bayezid II. Prince Selim, who objects to this situation, sets off for Istanbul. With the support of the Janissaries and those in the palace, he ascends the throne. He has the other princes who covet the throne killed and turns his attention to Shah Ismail, who is causing trouble in the east of the country. Selim sends his men ahead to gather information and begins preparations for his campaign against Iran.
Directed by Sami Ayanoğlu, Yavuz Sultan Selim Ağlıyor leans on a strong ensemble — Heyecan Başaran, Sami Ayanoğlu, Lale Oraloğlu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about war titles of 1952.
