I can't understand the comments about other famous musicians that are left out or how deficient the movie is to describe the cultural diversity of Istanbul...
How can you include every single musical pioneer from a city that has a colossal history dating back to 7000 BC for god's sake?
It's called creating a concept. Selecting a way of storytelling. Purifying the cacophony of 15 million people living in this mega city.
It's a great, hearth touching documentary with "a selection" of influential musicians from many different genres accompanied by mostly melancholic views of Istanbul's urban texture.
Highly recommended even if you don't have an interest in world music.
