Yılmaz Güney: His Life, His Films

Directed by Jane Mills
Duration: 56 minutes.
From Australia

With the last filmed interview before he died, this documentary follows the
ways in which politics art come together - and sometimes clash - in the
interconnected life and films of celebrated film director Yılmaz Güney (1937
—1984). Born to a poor Kurdish peasant family near Adana in southern Turkey
Güney became Turkey's most popular actor in the 1960s and was given the
nick-name "Cirkin Kral," or "the Ugly King". In 1961, to his complete
bewilderment, he was imprisoned for writing a short story which the
authorities declared was communist propaganda: this he explains, made him
grow up politically! Despite the political reforms in Turkey in the 1960s,
all his films were censored or banned and he was imprisoned for his
political activities. While in prison he wrote several screenplays that were
smuggled out of jail and directed by his assistant, Şerif Gören. After
escaping from prison in 1981 he fled to France with smuggled footage of his
latest film, Yol, for which he won the prestigious Palme d'Or at the 1982
Cannes Film Festival.
