Country: Turkey
Directed by Yilmaz Guney
'Hope' is a very significant film for the revolutionary cinema movement in Turkey but also for Yilmaz Guney who after this movie radicalized his work, turn it clearly in a political stream until the end of his life. However is interesting that 'Hope' is not a direct political film involving or incorporating a kind of communist propaganda. Instead the main character avoids any political participation, hunting after his personal illusions. What Guney does is to tear one by one the false hopes of his hero as his financial and mental condition get gorsen, been left at the end with nothing than despair. Then , without the movie to mention, is clear that the only path that is someone in his social position can follow is the path of the social struggle. Guney , to pass his message, uses a rather hard black and white photography, a naturalism without much dramatization. However the end of the film is both tragic and surreal
