What is Çatlı about?
A biographical drama tracing a formative chapter in the life of Abdullah Çatlı, the controversial figure at the center of one of modern Turkey's most notorious political scandals. The film follows Çatlı's flight abroad after the 1980 military coup and his years operating in the shadows of Europe, where loyalty, ideology, and survival repeatedly collide. Told largely from his own perspective, it dramatizes the choices that would later make his name inseparable from Turkey's deep-state controversies.

Critic Reviews
Çatlı (2026) Review: Handsome but Morally Evasive
Çatlı is Deniz Enyüksek's polished Turkish biopic of Abdullah Çatlı's years in European exile, anchored by Vedat İnceefe but too sympathetic to its subject.
Mostly no. It is well mounted and strongly acted, but viewers wanting a searching political drama will find it evasive; best for those already drawn to the history.
