About This Movie

Prohibitions is a 1984 comedy film from the Devekuşu Kabare collection. Directed by Zeki Akpınar and featuring a notable cast, this film offers a satirical take on the bans in the Republic of Turkey.

Prohibitions showcases the signature style of Zeki-Metin comedy, presenting a humorous critique of societal restrictions in Turkey. The film's cabaret roots are evident, drawing on the traditions of performance art to deliver its message.

The cast includes prominent Turkish actors such as Metin Akpınar, Zeki Alasya, and Yonca Evcimik, each contributing to the film's comedic tone. Their performances are essential to the film's exploration of the absurdities surrounding the theme of prohibition in a historical context.

As a part of the Devekuşu Kabare collection, Prohibitions holds a unique place in Turkish cinema. Collectors may appreciate its cultural commentary and the way it reflects the social landscape of its time.

Prohibitions has a somewhat limited release history, making it a curious item for collectors who appreciate Turkish cinema. The film was released on VHS and later on DVD, but finding a good quality copy can be a challenge. Its unique blend of comedy and social critique resonates with collectors interested in the evolution of Turkish film and the cultural context of the 1980s. Scarcity contributes to its allure, as many may not be familiar with this gem from Zeki-Metin.
