Quote:
Metin Erksan’s most controversial film, Kuyu/The Well (1968), considered as one of the classics of Turkish cinema, is a rural drama that focuses on a relationship, founded on male obsession and female resistance, which culminates in tragedy.

From an artistic point of view, the film is one of the masterpieces of Turkish cinema. The minimalist narrative works in repetitions; the characters of the two protagonists who are both loners in an indifferent world are developed meticulously and with special concern for human psychology; societal dynamics are sharp; and the characters that are offsprings of such a society very accurately drawn. The photo­graphy and the camera angles are beyond reproach. However, the film’s graphic display of male brute power is controversial.

While many consider Kuyu as an important representative of the cinema of resistance and argue that Erksan has brought a special sensitivity to the situation of women in Turkey, the feminists condemn it as the sexual fantasies of a macho man. Erksan claims that the film takes its inspiration from the message in An-Nisa, Sura IV— ayet (verse) 19 of the Koran, which states that it is not lawful for men to possess women by force. They should consort with them in kindness because if they hate them, they hate a thing wherein Allah has placed much good.

Based on a newspaper article, but decorated with the fantasies of Erksan, the film displays the helplessness of an oppressed but level-headed young village woman against the perverse determination of a man obsessed with her

“Isn´t suicide an introverted desire to kill?”

The man wants to die and the woman wants to be famous. According to the man, there could not be a better plan than the woman killing him. This way the man will get his wish to die and the woman will become famous. The man tries to convince the woman: “You are my killer and my life source.” The gun finally goes off and the interrogation of the woman begins.

Quote:

The man asks his wife to kill himself, and explains why it is the only way to escape from her, that he will not be able to escape the cause except for him, everything he needs. He loves his wife as mad, but over time this love has turned into a captivity, when he feels that he is not free, he intends to get rid of it and knows that the only way to do this is to kill himself. Kill me, finish everything, break all my hopes for you, save me from my captivity. It is like a kind of death before it dies.

There is something else that comes to mind at this point. A sentence in Seneca’s book which name is Epistulae morales ad Lucilium : If you do not expect anything, you will not be afraid. The man thinks that he is going to kill his hope for the get rid of the this issue. He will never afraid it if he had never hope. In the meantime, he does not neglect to throw someone a bone. Saying that she/he will become famous in this way, she/he also flourishes the ego. Those who have killed our hopes will save us from fear, thank to them, but if the ego is also a little bit puffy, by the way?

An early realist classic from Turkey
15 December 2004 | by Tilly Gokbudak (Roanoke, Va.)
This is one of several Turkish films I have chosen to examine for a college thesis on Turkish cinema. I found a copy of it by chance from a CD store in the Aksaray part of Istanbul, the last time I was in Turkey. This is quite a film. The Revenge of the Snakes is a definitive precursor to the films of Yilmaz Guney, Zeki Okten, Ali Ozgenturk, and Serif Goren. It is a simple tale of a young couple and their little boy trying to live a suitable life in a small Anatolian village. This is a multi-layered film in which the antagonists include the mother in law, the new neighbors- with whom there is a serious land dispute, the town chiefs, and government officials who are oblivious to the needs and concerns of the average person. The snake is a symbol for the incoming troubles that will haunt the couple. The lead actor Fikret Hakan and the whole cast is brilliant. If you like Turkish films, this is one to see. It is perhaps as relevant to Turkish cinema as Rosellini’s “Open City” is to Italian cinema.
