Nueve vidas tiene Leyla

The name Ezel Akay (Ezop), takes place on the top lines of creative cinema lists thanks to his muchly peculiar cinematic langue. Most of his movies have been treated as examples of golden works in Turkey Cinema by many authorities.

But unfortunately this last movie is too far off meeting any audience expectation based on Ezel Akay cinematography.

-. Inadequate links between mythological significations and political discourse and

-. Failing repetitive jokes which dominate and vanish sub-contents

could be counted as main major problems.
