159. Dry summer (1964)


Country: Turkey
Directed by Metin Erksan

A classic black and white drama  narrating the fight for domination of the natural sources from conflicted groups of people, in this case of the water that for thousands of years was the most valuable asset for the agriculture societies. Then is the 'war' for the women that can be even more brutal than the previous one : the land and the girls, this seems to be the definition of prosperity . But mostly are the common patterns of the human behaviour that fascinate the viewer: the greed, the passion, the betrayal, Erksan uses a simple, easy to follow storyline that gets even more direct with the naturalistic way that is directed, to present all the above and he does it really well in a film that is considered as a masterpiece of Turkish cinema
