Susuz yaz

Watched it on www.mubi.com A strong rural story, which uses the elements of its setting to its full. Perennial turkish bad guy Erol Tas was at his best as cruel Osman. It has some genuinely awkward moments though(Bahar hugging a telegraph post or Osman suckling a cow to hint at Bahar) and Hulya Kocyigit is such a bad actress, from the way she acts it is impossible to tell whether she is in pain, aroused or constipated, ah and she kisses the air while cuddling.

bir tane "kor goze parmak" android kotu karakter, geri kalanlarin hepsi idiot, et kafa. romani okumadim ama filmin fena halde boku cikmis. agir irite oldum.

Surprisingly accomplished and profound. This has the stylistic leftovers of Italian Neorealism, the cynicism of Bunuel and hints of Psycho that come together to serve both Turkish political commentary and a very real and dynamic film experience. It's only negatives come from some stilted acting in parts and a plot device at the end that runs contrary to its negative message about patriarchy.

Türk sinemasının 63'teki halini de göz önünde bulundurunca bu puanı hak ediyor. Evet kötü karakter çok kötü, sonunda da iyiler kazanıyor klasik olduğu üzere ama film iyi. Susuzluğu, kardeşinin karısına göz koyacak derecede ahlaksızlığı gayet güzel anlatmış Metin Erksan. Filmi izlemek yerine senaryosunu okusan sıradan bir Yeşilçam filmi zannedersin ama çekim tarzı öyle bir yükseltiyor ki filmi. Ayrıca bu filmde bu sahneleri çeken Hülya Koçyiğit 15-16 yaşında. Zamanın ruhu ne çabuk değişiyor.

A compelling story with some very strong moments. It does feel a bit heavy handed at times, but not so much that it hurts the film.

a masterpiece of turkish cinem,must see!

90 minutes of a bunch of idiots being taken advantage of by an asshole narcissist. Sure it has real-world resonance, but it’s not exactly my idea of entertainment. The moral of the story is “bad people are bad.” I’m aware, thank you!

Never seen a Turkish movie from this era or any at all really but this was great. Like a Turkish western? I dunno just very engrossing flick

You really kill a peacefully laying down dog in front of a building? Fuck you.

acgözlülük, susuzluk, kuraklik, sucu üstlenme, yengeye göz koyma, hapse düsen kardes, röntgencilik (taralsindan cikan suyu köyle paylasmak istemeyen osmanin köylüyle arasi acilir. bir gece köylü su bendini yikar osman onlari kovalarken birini öldürür. kardesi sucu üstlenir. osman göz koydugu yengeye asilmaya baslar. hapisteki kardesine bakmaz, mektuplari ulastirmaz ve onun öldügüne yengeyi inadirir. sürükleyici, sinir bozucu, harbi dram yani)

some great cinematography

Almost Biblical in it's simplicity, this film is a pretty powerful little parable about the dangers of selfishness and about not standing up for what you believe in. It kind of spins it's wheels in the last act seeming to run out of story, but it's beautifully shot, well-acted and comparable in power to many Italian neorealist films.

Pivotal point in Turkish cinema.
