Düsman (1980)

 

Ismail is an educated Turk who travels to Asia from Istanbul to escape crushing unemployment in this somber social drama.

From memory: Based on a Yilmaz Güney script and project, who was unable to realize it due to his imprisonment, this remarkable film gives us a convincing, touching and harrowing portrayal of Turkish life and society of the time.

 

 

Chambre 666 (1982)

 

 

During the 1982 Cannes Film Festival, German director Wim Wenders asks fifteen other famous directors to give their views on the future of cinema.

 

Curious short documentary with an interesting idea is fascinating for its array of important directors and their views, but is generally, due to the temporal nature of the query, outdated.
