Synopsis

Late 19th century in Alexandria. Two traditionally rival Turkish families, "Seferoglu"s and "Tellioglu"s are competing for the "Green Valley". The winner will be determined by Daver Bey, who has a beautiful young daughter, Leyla. Both families try to arrange a marriage between a man from their family and Leyla, so that Daver Bey will be inclined to give the green valley to his "relatives". Tellioglus, who are behind in the race, desperately find a final solution: They will fake their idiotic butler, Saban, as the highest ranked Ottoman soldier in Egypt: Tosun Pasha.

ermactatilde Sometimes I think maybe we are overestimating the quality of the movies like this and the featuring actors such as Kemal Sunal or Sener Sen as we are originated in the same country as where these masterpieces are produced. But it doesn't take so long for me to deny that.Look at how Sener Sen transforms from a serious man into a troll face, without making you think he's acting well. He doesn't act in truth, he becomes the character he plays. And he is just one of the actors who can do that in this movie. All the other great actors and a perfect scenario get together and become this wonderful movie. I wish everyone knew Turkish as much as they could understand the movie.
kadheerjahn Tosun Pasa, is certainly a Turkish comedy masterpiece, which reflects the Ottoman times in a humorous way. Moreover, beyond its comedy identity, Tosun Pasa also brings a deep criticism to Ottoman bureaucracy and traditional values. Kemal Sunal(aka Saban) and Sener Sen(aka Lutfu) are at their best performance in Tosun Pasa. From the beginning of the film, till the end, Kemal Sunal accomplishes to amuse the viewer. With his gestures and mimics, he definitely shows that why he is considered as the "king of comedy". It's a delightful film to watch obviously, not only for its crew, but also for the unique music and setting. To conclude, Tosun Pasa deserves to be named as a masterpiece of comedy. You gonna love it!
bbegen This is what I call comedy. Acting, screenplay, supporting roles, all of them are perfectly matching. Kemal Sunal and Sener Sen are very well known actors in Turkey. Unfortunately, Kemal Sunal passed away couple of years ago. He was very famous with his comedies. Sener Sen is still acting, he is a 1st class actor. I believe if he have lived in US he would easily have got couple of Oscars, he has amazing acting skills both in comedies and dramas. You should most definitely watch his movie, "Eskiya", which was a drama. It is sad that some movies like "Tosun Pasa" have not been known in the international movie industry. I like European movies better, because I think they have a soul not just special effects.
izbe All the story is about a man who is totally clumsy and unskillful. It's great opportunity for a view for Turkish tradition and ancient lifestyle. All the wits are not only for Turks , i can say all for globally.First i can say during the one a half hour my brain is totally shocked for the jokes who are very simples and pleasurable. It' s not a sitcom like the American ones. There are many place in this movie who have a historical value.For the final words i can say enjoy it and if you can watch in original language and customized subtitle.
