Drama, action and romance blend in Paramparça, a Turkish film from 1985. A color 35 mm production by Erler Film, it was directed by Halit Refiğ from a script by Erdoğan Tünaş, with Türker İnanoğlu as producer. Shooting was completed in Kütahya. Love and revenge are its leading themes.

The story starts when Ümran (Gülşen Bubikoğlu), a young and beautiful doctor, hits Cemil (Cüneyt Arkın) with her car. Cemil quickly falls for her, but she is cool on the idea of marriage. Tayfun (Tarık Akan), who works for the wealthy businessman Sabri (Orhan Günşiray), is in an unhappy engagement to his boss's daughter Çiğdem (Sevtap Parman). After breaking it off and quitting, he turns to his close friend Cemil, yet Ümran turns out to be his former sweetheart. With the old lovers reunited, the friends are caught in a love triangle: Cemil will not give up, while Çiğdem's accident and her father's insistence pull Tayfun back toward his old life.

The film turns into a tense chase as Sabri and his men go after the trio. The cinematographer was Çetin Gürtop, and Sineray handled the color processing and sound. Tarık Akan, Gülşen Bubikoğlu and Cüneyt Arkın star.

Through different eyes

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

A film that starts as a love triangle and turns into a chase, exactly the kind of shift I like. Seeing Tarık Akan and Cüneyt Arkın circling the same woman while their friendship is put to the test builds tension from the start. The stretch where Sabri and his men go after the trio is the film's real pulse. The emotional set-up in the first part may feel a little long, but the pace picks up as it goes on.

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

Directed by Halit Refiğ, written by Erdoğan Tünaş and produced by Türker İnanoğlu, this film's credits read like a meeting of Turkish cinema's master craftsmen. Having Tarık Akan, Gülşen Bubikoğlu and Cüneyt Arkın in the same cast was a big draw for audiences of the day. Old lovers reunited and a love that comes between two friends are themes Yeşilçam cherished. Those who expect a more measured drama from Refiğ's name may find this mix of action and romance a little scattered; the story's heart now and then gets lost in the noise of the chase.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

An eighties film full of familiar faces that older viewers will enjoy. It isn't really suitable for small children, though. The story has a car accident, a revenge theme and a tense chase as Sabri and his men give pursuit. The love triangle is also a bit complicated for kids. Teenagers and adults can watch it without worry. A nice bit of nostalgia for parents who love the old stars.
