Fıstık Gibi is a fascinating slice of 1970s Turkish cinema that captures the chaotic atmosphere of a nightclub contrasted with the stark violence that can break out unexpectedly. The duality of Fikri and Naci's lighthearted musicianship against the dark backdrop of Selim's mayhem is intriguing. You see the accordion and darbuka—almost whimsical instruments—being played as a form of survival rather than just entertainment. The pacing has its moments of urgency, especially when they’re on the run, but also allows for some absurd comedy that lightens the brutal undertones. It's a nuanced exploration of camaraderie and resilience, with performances that feel raw and relatable, making it a unique entry in the genre.
