Three Friends Audience Reviews

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
l_rawjalaurence This melodrama has it all - Gul (Hulya Kocyigit) is a blind girl whose sight miraculously returns, and resumes her career as a singer in a Gazino. She falls in love with fortuneteller Murat (Kadir Inanir), but their love-affair cools and Murat ends up falling on hard times. Gul ends up pursuing her career, while Murat has to rely on the consolation of his two friends - making the three friends of the title - Mustik (Halit Akcatepe) and Artin (Musfik Kenter). Memduh Un's film is a prime example of Yesilcam melodrama, full of abrupt cuts, zooms into the protagonists, musical interluded, intercuts between the protagonists, and dramatic music. It's a fascinating record of a long-defunct genre, whose techniques have been appropriated by the contemporary Turkish diziler (or series). The film offers interesting perspective of Istanbul in the early Seventies, as well as recording full-blooded performances by the costars Inanir and Kocyigit. Definitely worth a watch on a tedious afternoon.
