Kaan Ege

Kaan Ege’s filmography is honestly a wild little ride. You’ve got “Ses” from 2010, which is one of those movies that sort of crawls under your skin. It’s all about this woman who keeps hearing voices—like, literally voices in her head. It’s not your classic jump-scare horror, it’s more psychological, messes with your brain, makes you question what’s real and what’s just in her mind. Ege doesn’t play it safe, either. He digs into the weirdness of everyday life and just cranks up the volume on all that paranoia. Jump to “Karisik Kaset” (2014)—totally different vibe. We’re talking romance, bittersweet memories, and that whole nostalgia trip. It’s set in the ‘90s, back when mixtapes were still a thing. The movie follows two friends, or maybe more-than-friends, as they fumble through love, heartbreak, and all those clumsy firsts. The music isn’t just background noise; it’s basically a character on its own, setting the tone, cueing all those feels. Ege’s work here is like a love letter to growing up awkward, but with a killer soundtrack. Then there’s “Love at 39 Degrees” (2024). This one’s newer, and it’s got that summer heat, literally and emotionally. It’s set during a heatwave and everything feels amped up—tempers, passions, drama. The characters are complicated, kind of messy, but real. Ege’s take is refreshingly honest, cutting through the usual romantic clichés. You can tell he’s not afraid to show the ugly side of love, or the way a single summer can flip your whole world upside down.
