İstanbul'u Satıyorum

About This Movie

İstanbul'u Satıyorum, with its absurdist take on real estate and urban identity, really captures the chaotic essence of late '80s Turkey. The film spins a wild narrative where the beloved city itself is up for grabs—literally! It’s a comedic yet biting commentary on commercialization, with a fast-paced delivery that keeps you on your toes. The atmosphere is both familiar and surreal, as iconic landmarks become mere commodities. The performances vary, but there’s a certain charm in the actors’ earnestness, reflecting the peculiar reality they inhabit. Mimar Sinan’s appearance adds depth, reminding us of the city’s rich history amid the farce. It’s this blend of humor and critique that makes it stand out in the Turkish cinema landscape.
