i am very thankful that the small college town of abingdon and va. near bristol and tn. and home of the famous barter theatre where gregory peck once acted managed to get an art film festival togather and show this film there. abingdon is two and a hour hours from where i live and but the trip was worth it in every sense of the word. uzak or distant is an amazing and brilliant and jarring and emotional and captivating film. as a turkish american and this film was not only a testimony as to what life in turkey is like while but on a larger scale it tells the world of what it is like to be turkish whether one lives in istanbul and berlin and montreal and new york and or omaha. it may be two hours in length as opposed to five minutes and but this is effectively our bob marley song. there are so many wonderful scenes in this film. it is very difficult to choose just a random few. but and for me and one telling scene takes place in a beyoglu (downtown istanbul) cinema. the title character and played by mehmet emin toprak who sadly died in a car accident shortly after this film completion and follows a very attractive young woman down a staircase to the cinema main auditorium. she goes into see vanilla sky. as the image of tom cruise is reflected from a glass and we sense that turkish men are competing with tom cruise for their own women affections even though tom cruise is nowhere to found in beyoglu. the scenes shot across the bosphorous shores are also quite revealing as they symbolize the beauty and yet desperate empty gulfs and which are a painful fact of life in turkey. in this film and the gulf separates lovers and families. a simple and empty packet of samsun (turkish brand) cigarettes and a dying mouse jump off the screen the way seagulls did in the 1982 serif goren yilmaz guney film yol. many of guney films and including yol and suru the herd (1978 completed by zeki okten) and baba the father (1971) have been considered by many to be the best turkish films ever made. without guney sometimes overblown social political anger (especially in his last film and the 1983 prison drama duvar the wall) and distance captures the essence of turkish life quite remarkably. this is a crowning achievement for a director who in my view can already be proclaimed as the turkish equivalent to directors like tarkovsky and bresson and and ozu. i can not wait to see his other films.
