A minor Turkish film by director Seren Yuce which fails to make its point !!!!

This Turkish film is the honest portrayal of a lost generation which has to depend almost entirely on the parents. A lot of nice things have been written about this film's lead character but the truth is that he is a complete misfit. Hanging out with friends at Malls seems to be his only hobby. By making use of these two personality traits, Seren Yuce shows the differences between rich and poor in modern Turkey. However, one major trouble with this film is that its lead actor utterly fails to convey notions of hardships. Although his girl friend is from a minority community. It doesn't shock viewers to discover that she wouldn't be accepted by his parents. In the past director Seren Yuce worked with established Turkish directors such as Faith Akin and Yesim Ustaoglu. Majority is the first film by this director which has won some key awards at different important film festivals for itself as well as its protagonists.

Interesting look at modern urban life in Turkey

Mertkan is a twenty something, moderately overweight young man in Turkey, and has to deal with his boring life (which consists mainly of hanging out with friends at shopping malls) and his job working for his strict, domineering father, who runs a small construction company in Istanbul. He has a break with routine when he is involved with a Kurdish girl named Gul (the pretty Esme Madra, the best thing in the film) he met in a fast food restaurant. When his family learns of this relationship, they are naturally quite opposed to it.

Filmed with good production values, the main interest of this movie to me is that it shows life in an urban middle class milieu in Turkey. The main problem with it is that most of the characters are so unpleasant, especially the father and the son. The only exception is the Kurdish girl, but the movie never focus on her voice, nor we understand why she would be attracted to him.

Since Turkey is supposedly a fairly conservative country, I was surprised this movie includes a sexual scene, not particularly explicit for Western standards, but it does involve female frontal nudity.
