Renkli-Türkçe

Sabit spends all his time in a shabby, old neighborhood cinema that shows pornographic films. The cinema is his home, his universe, his everything. This place is a different world because, in addition to all this, there are different types of people who frequent the cinema. Drunks, smokers, heroin addicts, gamblers, and perverts live in different worlds. These are the types of people we might encounter in the novels of Dostoevsky, Bukowski, or Kafka. One day, when manager Celal quits his job, the cinema owner assigns Sabit the task of bringing films from the film companies in Beyoğlu. Sabit sees Zerrin Öz, once a sex symbol at the film company, and becomes obsessed with her. He stalks her obsessively, constantly watching her and calling her on the phone. This obsession will lead him into a dangerous adventure.

Directed by Ahmet Çadırcı, Renkli-Türkçe leans on a strong ensemble — Nilüfer Aydan, Osman Cavcı, Akasya Asıltürkmen — 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 drama titles of 1999.
