Comedy90 min
A 1977 Turkish comedy with a historical backdrop, Saban, Son of Saban centers on the title character as family ties and social rank shape the chaos around him. Kemal Sunal is the film’s comic focal point, joined by familiar Turkish screen faces including Halit Akçatepe and Şener Şen. Adile Naşit and Ayşen Gruda are part of the large ensemble, giving the story the packed, bustling feel of a classic studio-era farce. With its period setting and title built around lineage, the film mixes broad character comedy with the manners and hierarchies of an earlier world.
