VIZONTELE TUUBA (comedy/drama - 2004)
CAST : YILMAZ ERDOGAN (VIZONTELE)-TARIK AKAN
Director: YILMAZ ERDOGAN (VIZONTELE)
Tarik Akan A cinema veteran with over 100 films to his credit. He gained international fame outside of Turkey after winning the SILVER BERLIN BEAR award for his outstanding performance in PEHLIVAN.
This uproarious sequel to the box office record-breaking hit relies on the same successful recipe that had people eagerly standing in lines to see VIZONTELE. Set against the backdrop of political upheaval prior to Turkey's military coup in September 1980, this wild comedy has left international audiences rolling with laughter and coming back for more.
The story begins when the newly appointed library director (Akan) arrives in the town with his wheelchair bound daughter Tuuba, to discover that there's no library, no books, and no apparent need for anything other than the magic of television. It doesnt take long for sparks to fly between the handicapped Tuuba (Tugba Unsal) and the local eccentric Crazy Emin (Erdogan). Racing through its side-splitting and fast paced script this endearing, romantic tale never misses a beat or a laugh as the eccentric village characters constantly clash with each other and the unlikely relationship between Emin and Tuuba blossoms.
*theatrically released in Germany, Austria, Scandinavia, France, Swiss, Benelux, Uk
VIZONTELE TUUBA (comedy/drama - 2004)

Director: YILMAZ ERDOGAN (This is Yilmaz feature directorial debut!)
In the same vein as MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING and BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM, this outrageous comedy has broken all box office records in its native home Turkey, reaching an astounding 3.8 millions viewers and become and international phenomenon.
Featuring a wonderful ensemble of richly developed characters, hilarious mis-adventures and glorious cinematography by Omer Faruk Sorak, Vizontele is a laugh-out-loud comedy that celebrates the human spirit that has opened the worlds eyes to the finest international cinema that Turkey has to offer!
Set in a small southeastern village in 1974 Turkey, Vizontele takes a hilarious and lighthearted look at what happens to a small village when the 1st television is literally thrust into the daily lives of the townspeople.
Playing on the Turkish word for Television, Televizyon, the unknowing villagers mistakenly refer to the new gizmo as a Vizontele! With no understanding of how to operate it, they enlist the local eccentric and general electronics wizard (wonderfully played by Erdogan) to fix the TV and get it working.
Deftly written and well paced the tale take a humorous look at the effect the distinctively western technology has on the small towns old traditions. Always played for good-natured laughs, a series of outrageous circumstances arise as the honest Mayor, the sleazy theater owner, the corrupt businessman and the rest of town cope with sudden changes the Vizontele will bring.
