When I was in Istanbul, I saw about half an hour of a show that appeared by western standards of production quality and style to be from the late seventies or early eighties, in which an almost entirely silent, emotionless, Arabic Tom Selleck is seduced in jest by a, by all accounts timelessly superhot, Turkish lady. After the seduction prank, he abducts her, drives her in a van to country, locks her in a room and spends a great deal of time staring at her angrily. She spends a great deal of time trying to escape. As you do. some point after she actually does escape, or he drives her back or something, she decides shes in love with him, and spends like, a really disproportionate amount of screen-time just being super down about the whole thing. Because he's engaged? Or won't kidnap her again? Oh, this is all in Turkish. No subtitles.
Anyway, this is far and away the greatest film ever made, and I really, REALLY want to get my hands on a copy. So if anyone knows the Turkish equivalent to Amazon, or can recommend some grey market DVD locale in Manhattan, let me know.
