This is a masterpiece and a gem in the collection of classical Turkish cinema!
29 October 2004
With an all star cast, the film is based around the antics of a class of no hopers. The class is called "Hababam sinifi" which literally means class nonstop. The music is composed by Melih Kibar. It plays an important part of the film and shapes the mood from scene to scene. The music is one of my favourite things about any movie and Turkish films in my opinion are always very good at this. The same score is played in this film whether the scene is happy or sad but played slower and quicker with different instruments is a very effective way to touch the audience. In a way its the same as how the theme tune in the rocky film is the same melody. When played fast its inspiring and brings verve to the scene but when played slow we feel sorry for rocky.

The humour may not be understood to the fullest by viewers not Turkish speaking. But this film is truly timeless. The humour and whit may of set a standard in Turkish cinema for years after.
