Review of Kibar Feyzo

Kibar Feyzo (1978)
9/10
Though a product of its time, has a timeless core message for all.

This movie, at its heart, is about exploitation of man. It's about critiquing existing power structures, questioning of traditional values and trying to make sense of it all. Our protagonist, Feyzo, pleads with the judge (audience) at the end of the movie: "I don't know where this leads to, you're the state (power), you know better. You be the judge of this, who's to blame?" and in this plea we see a summary of the movie, a man who was born into circumstances he didn't create tried his best to live a life in pursuit of happiness but his initial ignorance, his relative powerlessness and his inability to figure a way out of it led him to become a suspect in a murder trial. In a sense, he's pleading for us to judge the circumstances of his "crime" before we judge his actions.
