Veda is a 2010 Turkish biographical film, written and directed by Zülfü Livaneli based on the memoirs of Salih Bozok, which traces the life of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

Filming commenced on 27 October 2009 with location shooting taking place in Antalya, Ayvalık, İzmir and Seferihisar, Turkey.

The real problematic part of 'Veda' is that while trying to illustrate every aspect of the life of Atatürk (his political and military career, his relationship with his friends and family) the film lacks a focal point and manifests itself as a string of sketches molded out of the sources of documented history.

'Veda' will surely make an explosion at the local box office; it's the kind of massive epic drama that audiences anticipate when it comes to national history, he further concedes.

Those who were enraged by Can Dündar's overtly personal and humanizing take on Atatürk last year with his feature length docu-drama 'Mustafa' will be highly satisfied by writer-musician-film director Zülfü Livaneli's epic historic drama 'Veda,' which aims to stroke our pride in Turkey's founding leader by preferring to pass over any erring human ways that Mustafa Kemal might have harbored.
