An Amazing Movie for Turkey in 1980's

This is not a well-known movie in spite of the fact that it is wonderful. I remember I was surprised when I watched it first time. I think "amazing ingenuity" in the movie belongs to Baris Pirhasan who is screenwriter of the movie. It has a style, plot, and way of expression which I never expected considering period of the movie was shooted in Turkey. I like "metafiction" technique so much and so I like the movie very much.

One Outstanding Scenario of 1980's

Aaah Belinda is one of the many movies produced in the fruitful years of 1980's, with a low budget, not totally & precisely worked on, but still a remarkable one distinguished from the others in the era.The scenario ( and the story ) depends on an original idea, what if our lives change in a second to a totally different one in which we find everything we hate to do. That's not only a bad dream, it is truly a different life and it seems you get used to it. Müjde Ar plays one of her finest characters with some vague silliness.Atif Yilmaz is a master in Turkish cinema, but always struggled with the enormous low budgets and pretty short time the productions are realized. He tried to overcome this situation casting the best actors & actresses and always keeping in mind the scenario is the main element of a movie, that's what keeps the spectators in their seats.The original negatives of the movie must have been lost, so a very bad copy is transfered to a DVD for future generations, and that's a pity too...
