Seyircili Seyir Defteri

Ferhan Şensoy and his team perform their play, which takes place inside a ship, from inside the same ship for their audience. Ferhan Şensoy, a true wordsmith, plays the captain, and the ship's crew returns from a long voyage and sets sail for Turkey. When they see the state of the country, they decide to turn back, saying, "Take it, it's yours." Deeply troubled by the public's tendency to accept every new crisis as normal, Şensoy remarks, "In another country, the people would rise up and protest, but here, such things do not occur," and in his "Audience Logbook," he critiques the nation's issues using the vernacular of the people.

Directed by Ferhan Şensoy, Seyircili Seyir Defteri leans on a strong ensemble — Ferhan Şensoy, Bican Günalan, Levent Ünsal — 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 comedy titles of 1994.
