Synopsis
Uysallar — released internationally as Wild Abandon (2022) — is a Turkish dramedy you can watch online on iFILM. A middle-aged architect with a presentable life starts living a secret second one, reinventing himself on the punk scene after hours. Director Onur Saylak keeps the tone dry but genuinely warm.
Haluk Bilginer and Uğur Yücel lead the cast, and both bring the kind of lived-in restraint the material needs. The architect's crisis runs in parallel with the quiet meltdowns happening elsewhere in his family — each member quietly dealing with their own version of the same question: is this it? The show doesn't mock them for it, which is exactly what sets it apart from the usual midlife-comedy template.
If you like character studies that find comedy in genuine pain rather than situation, Wild Abandon is worth your time. Stream it online on iFILM.
