Author Aziz Nesin's masterpiece

Adapted from the magnificent book of the Turkish author Aziz Nesin, this film is the mirror of the past, present and future of Turkish political history. Kemal Sunal also reflected the character of Ibrahim Zübükzade on the screen perfectly.

Erdogan's Life Story
serdarreshad11 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This Turkish classic is some sort of a magical piece, as it had perfectly depicted Turkish President Erdogan's biography and political career even before he became a politician. I know, amazing! Right? Kinda the Turkish version of Back to the Future.
The funny thing is, even the leading actor (Kemal Sunal) marvellously resembles Erdogan. Unbelieveable.
Did you say coincidence? Don't think so. I rather prefer to believe that there is a supernatural side to this movie. It feels like someone wanted Erdogan's shameful legacy to be documented even before the poor guy did what he was eventually going to do. Just beautiful.
The movie is so similar to Turkey's incompetent and greedy dictator's life story that they don't even allow Turkish people to see it anymore. Not even on YouTube can you find a decent copy. You can tell how pissed off the dude is at this old film.
Apart from this hilarious note, the movie is an amazing work on its own. Very well written, shot and played. A flawless example of dark and political humour. Brits would love it had they had the opportunity to see it.
Shall you have the opportunity, consider giving it a try. It won't disappoint you. That I guarantee you.

not just a movie
srk_engin28 January 2023
This spectacular movie shows the corruption which has been occured in Turkish political life. The. When you watch this movie the lead actor will look very familiar to you. Aziz nesin wrote this book many years ago but since then nothing has changed in politics and unfortunately this movie is not allowed to be showed in Turkish tv channels. If you lived in Turkey you would be suprised by many scene from the movie. This is the story of the politician named Zübük. He gets expelled from the political party that he is a member of, due to corruption. The journalist Yasar wants to make a news story about his case and investigates Zübük's doings. Yasar gets baffled at the sly tricks Zübük played on his village people.
A Timeless Critique of Political Exploitation
agitoktay21 February 2024
"Zübük," a film from four decades ago, remarkably retains its relevance in today's political landscape by delving into the intricate dynamics of power, manipulation, and the exploitation of societal vulnerabilities. Directed by Memduh Ün, this cinematic masterpiece not only entertains but also serves as a poignant critique of politicians who shamelessly capitalize on religion, nationalism, and ethical values to advance their agendas.
Set against the backdrop of a politically charged environment, "Zübük" introduces us to a cunning and opportunistic character, aptly named Zübük. Through the lens of this political charlatan, brilliantly portrayed by Kemal Sunal, the film unravels the deceptive tactics employed by individuals in positions of authority to garner support and maintain control.
One of the film's most striking aspects is its portrayal of the manipulation of religious and nationalist sentiments for personal gain. Zübük shamelessly exploits the deeply ingrained beliefs of the populace, using them as tools to further his own ambitions. This narrative thread resonates strongly with contemporary audiences, offering a stark commentary on the dangers of blindly following charismatic leaders who prey on fear and insecurity.
Furthermore, "Zübük" does not shy away from addressing the erosion of ethical values in pursuit of political power. The protagonist's moral bankruptcy serves as a cautionary tale, reminding viewers of the corrosive effects of unchecked ambition and moral compromise.
Kemal Sunal's performance as Zübük is nothing short of mesmerizing. He effortlessly embodies the character's complexities, portraying both his charisma and his underlying ruthlessness with equal conviction. The supporting cast, including Müjde Ar and Sevket Altug, delivers commendable performances, adding depth to the film's narrative tapestry.
In conclusion, "Zübük" stands as a timeless masterpiece that transcends its era, offering a scathing critique of political exploitation that remains as relevant today as it was forty years ago. Through its incisive portrayal of manipulation, deceit, and the erosion of ethical values, the film serves as a stark reminder of the dangers inherent in unchecked ambition and the importance of remaining vigilant in the face of political opportunism.

Turkey's 40 year unchanged politics
esozbir21 February 2024
Zubuk is a 1980 Turkish comedy film that exposes the corruption and hypocrisy of the Turkish political system and the society that supports it. The film is based on the novel by Aziz Nesin, a famous Turkish writer and satirist. The film is directed by Kartal Tibet and written by Atif Yilmaz. The film stars Kemal Sunal as Ibrahim Zubukzade, a corrupt politician who is expelled from his party.
The film is a sharp and witty critique of the Turkish politics and the people who are manipulated by it. Zubukzade is a dishonest, immoral, and opportunistic man who will do anything for his own benefit. He uses his cunning and trickery to turn everyone against each other, so that the people eventually beg him to become the mayor. He also avoids the traps set by his enemies with his wit and luck. He then gets himself elected as a member of parliament.
The film shows how Zubukzade exploits the ignorance, greed, and ungratefulness of the people. He uses religion, nationalism, and democracy as tools to deceive and manipulate the masses. He also seduces and marries the daughter of an opposition leader at gunpoint. He is a master of lies and flattery, and he knows how to use the media and the public opinion to his advantage.
The film also shows how the journalist Yasar, who wants to write a series of articles about Zubukzade's life and deeds, is shocked and disgusted by his stories. He goes to talk to Zubukzade face to face, hoping to expose his true nature. But Zubukzade, with his shamelessness, blames the people for being the real culprits, and claims that he is a honest and patriotic politician. Yasar almost feels sorry for Zubukzade, but he realizes that Zubukzade played a trick on him as well.
The film is a brilliant satire that reflects the past, present, and future of Turkish political history. It is a timeless and universal film that can be enjoyed by anyone who likes comedy and social commentary. The film is also a showcase of Kemal Sunal's talent and charisma, as he portrays the character of Zubukzade with perfection. The film is a classic of Turkish cinema that deserves to be watched and appreciated.
