About Kuşçu
While Murat the bird catcher is picnicking with his wife and baby, his wife is attacked and killed. Murat finds and kills the murderers, and is sent to prison with his son. After being released from prison, he starts working as a bird catcher. His son sells newspapers on the streets. Every time his son complains about being broke, Murat looks for ways to make money. During this time, he receives a large sum of money to find a couple who have run away. He accepts the offer for his son's sake, but when he realizes that things are not as they seem, he will be torn between two choices.
Directed by Vural Pakel, Kuşçu leans on a strong ensemble — Cüneyt Arkın, Perihan Savaş, Ahmet Arkan — 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 screen titles of 1974.
