Plot

Umutsuzlar is a 1971 Turkish crime film directed by Yılmaz Güney.

Sinekatalog’s take

An early Turkish crime-romance of doomed characters, built around its director's social concerns. With little detailed plot available, it can be approached as a gritty, melancholy classic of the genre's era.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
