Review of G.O.R.A.

G.O.R.A. (2004)
8/10
Quite entertaining movie with an outstanding comedian
28 June 2005
Cem Yilmaz has been the most outstanding comedian during the last 10 years in Turkey and he continues to do so. What he did so far is a great achievement and Turkish people knows that. He primarily makes stand-up shows but he is also busy with writing and acting; in which he is very successful in my opinion.

The movie here looks like it's all around Cem Yilmaz, but we must say that the other people of the movie did their job just as successful.

This a sci-fi and a comedy movie. Cem Yilmaz plays a typical Turkish guy who runs a carpet shop. He is also busy with producing fake UFO photos. Then he is taken by an alien spaceship and transported to the planet Gora.

The situation of a typical Turkish guy in a sci-fi environment was quite funny for me, but also I guess that a non-Turkish viewer would find it just as funny. Other characters are acting quite well. Ceku (Ozge Ozberk) is gorgeous.

This is the biggest budget used in a Turkish movie so far, so don't expect poor scenes behind.
