The Guard poster
FILM

In this film that wavers unsteadily between a comedy and a tragedy, Murtaza (Mujdat Gezen) is a deluded security guard whose fanatical reverence for "duty" verges on the psychotic. He is incapable of seeing himself for what he is -- and as a consequence he is often the unwitting and unknowing brunt of jokes. His wife and daughters are painfully aware of his shortcomings, but they generally suffer in silence. One of the daughters ends up working in the factory to help the family out financially, and when Murtaza finds her sleeping on the job one night he hits her so hard she eventually dies from the blow. Though that is not the end of it, by any means.

Altan, a physics professor who has been working in the field of green energy in America for a long time, returns to Istanbul, the city of his childhood, where he has been away for years after losing his family. In the place of the city he left, he finds a new world knitted by earthmoving trucks, gravel, iron and endless noise. Dersaadet Apartment Building, which is forced to surrender to the transformation, will be transferred to the contractor and will be replaced by a residence. Altan, who struggles to save the family home, is accompanied by Deren's voice that floats from the radio every day and reminds us of the precious and a turtle who survived the construction site, questioning our real "houses".

The Blue Exile poster
FILM

Mavi Sürgün is a fictionalized account of one period of the life of a Turkish journalist who was condemned to exile for an article he wrote in 1925. He turned his punishment into a reward by creating a little paradise in what is today the holiday resort, Bodrum. In fact he is considered by some to be the first ecologist. The film concentrates on this latter aspect of his character and through flashbacks portrays the inner turmoil of a man who is trying to come to terms with his past. The slow pace is somewhat of a drawback, the flashbacks are often confusing and the protagonist is not always very convincing. But the photography of the country side is exceptional Kenan Ormanlar and the short appearance by a very theatrical Hanna Schygulla of Fassbinder fame adds a little spice to the drama.
