Asik Oldum (I Am in Love)
I wouldn’t say I am a huge Turkish movie fan, but there are some movies I just love to watch. “Asik Oldum” with the famous Turkish actor Sener Sen is one of those. The movie is based on a successful, happily married advertising manager falling madly in love with one of the models hired for his shampoo commercial. His desperate attempts to meet the woman of his dreams are continually disrupted by another colleague from office and the love triangle turns into a hilarious hide & seek game. Shot in 1985 and adapted from the famous, presumably equally funny American movie “The Woman in Red”, Asik Oldum lacks many of the advancements we are used to seeing in movies today, but the brilliance of the plot and the talent of Sener Sen makes all of those disappear. Totally recommended for the Turks who are in need of laughing.
