Follows the life of a Turkish woman living and working in Germany.

Quote:
Almanya Acı Vatan (Germany, Bitter Home) presents two emigrants trying to cope with their life in Germany: Mahmut, a man in his mid-thirties, and Güldane who accepts Mahmut’s offer to marry him in exchange for a large sum of money so that he is able to stay in Germany legally. They travel to Germany together, but Güldane leaves Mahmut on his own in the foreign country. As they are mutually dependent (Güldane needs protection when she finds herself harassed by a stalker while Mahmut needs his wife to prove that he is not an illegal worker) they decide not to end their marriage of convenience, but to actually create a pleasant life together. The more permissive German lifestyle entices Mahmut to enter liaisons with German women so that Güldane is left alone. While Mahmut is exploring his newly won German freedom, she is confronted with the harsh situation of the typewriter factory where she works. She finally refuses to work and rebels against the inhumane treatment of factory workers by the German supervisors who are trying to increase production efficiency.

The post Serif Gören – Derman AKA Remedy (1983) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The Wedding, which is the second part of Akad’s trilogy, depicts the struggles of a migrant Anatolian family to adapt to and survive in the very different conditions of urban Istanbul, is one of the best presentations of internal migration in Turkish cinema. Akad uses the experiences of a provincial family as his medium for drawing attention to a period of disintegrating feudal relationships and burgeoning proletarianism. And this strikes the kind of political chord that is rarely encountered now in Turkish cinema; an approach that is borne out by the film’s ‘happy ending’. The Wedding is profoundly impressive as a film that explores and comments on the painful period of change sweeping Turkey at the time, but also for its standpoint, a combination of social realism and socialist reality.

The post Lütfi Akad – Diyet (1974) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
The Bride, which depicts the struggles of a migrant Anatolian family to adapt to and survive in the very different conditions of urban Istanbul, is one of the best presentations of internal migration in Turkish cinema. It is also the first, and most accomplished film in Ömer Lütfi Akad’s celebrated trilogy, which with The Wedding (Dügün, 1973) and Blood Money (Diyet) has earned a respected place in world cinema for its thematic unity. The Bride masterfully exposes the evolution of ‘little Anatolia’ in Istanbul, a phenomenon that would go on to acquire far larger dimensions.

The streets of Istanbul are paved with gold – or so people believe… The Bride portrays the migrant mentality with disarming realism: the unfaltering determination to build a ‘present’ and ‘future’ in the big city, even if that means selling everything back home. And the exceptional performance of Hülya Koçyigit in the role of Meryem reinforces the pathos. Here is a film of ‘one-way’ journeys: we see the young Meryem … as life grows ever harsher; we follow her to the local factory, where she eventually signs on; we watch parallel developments in the family she married into. And their respective odysseys are central to the ‘great leaps forward’ of Turkish cinema at the beginning of the 1970s.

Akad uses the experiences of a provincial family as his medium for drawing attention to a period of disintegrating feudal relationships and burgeoning proletarianism. And this strikes the kind of political chord that is rarely encountered now in Turkish cinema; an approach that is borne out by the film’s ‘happy ending’. The Bride is profoundly impressive as a film that explores and comments on the painful period of change sweeping Turkey at the time, but also for its standpoint, a combination of social realism and socialist reality.

The Bride stands out for its economic perspective on the problems of the time, for its allegorical quality, its simple and well-structured narrative and a memorable soundtrack, which merely reinforces its realism. (-Ankara Film Festival)

Director: Omer Lutfi Akad
Ömer Lütfi Akad was born in Istanbul in 1916. He finished French Saint Jeanne d’ Arc School and Galatasaray High School and graduated from Istanbul College of Economics and Business. After working at Osmanlı Bank for a while, he served as an accountant in the Lale Film. He began writing plays for theater and films. He then worked as a financial consultant and film director in the Sema Film. In 1947 he started directing film with Seyfi Havaeri’s “Damga”. In 1949, Akad debuted as a film director with “Vurun Kahpeye” (Kill the Whore) an adaptation of Halide Edip Adıvar′s book. Akad attempted different kinds of themes: fiction (Tahir ile Zühre, 1951), detective story (Kanun Namına, 1952), adventure (İngiliz Kemal Lavrens′e Karşı, 1952), musical (Çalsın Sazlar Oynasın Kızlar, 1953), melodrama (Kalbimin Şarkısı, 1955), comedy (Cilalı İbo′nun Çilesi, 1957), documentary (Tanrı′nın Bağışı Orman, 1964), Anatolian folklore (Kızılırmak Karakoyun, 1967), love story (Vesikalı Yarim, 1968) and songs (Bir Teselli Ver, 1971).

Akad became one of the pioneers of the period in the “Director Generation”. The 1970s trilogy: Gerin (The Bride, 1973), Düğün (The Wedding, 1974) and Diyet (The Sacrifice, 1975) is considered his masterpiece. Afterwards, he withdrew from movie making instead directing adaptations for TV: Topuz, Ferman, Pembe İncili Kaftan, Diyet, Bir Ceza Avukatının Anıları, Dört Mevsim İstanbul. In 2009, Akad received an honorary award in the 16th Altın Koza Film Festival. He taught at the Cinema and TV Institute of the Mimar Sinan University.
