Yilmaz Güney: From "Ugly King" to Outlaw Poet

A master of startling imagery, vigorous storytelling, and political commitment, Güney (1937-84) is a legendary fi gure in Turkish cinema and undoubtedly the best-known and most controversial fi lmmaker the country has produced to date. Born to Kurdish parents in rural southern Turkey, Güney studied both law and economics before becoming active in the cinema in the late 1950s as a screenwriter, assistant director, and actor for the prominent fi lmmaker (and fellow Kurd) Atif Yilmaz. Güney began making his own fi lms just as a lasting socio-cultural and political unrest began to take hold in Turkey. His early fi lms as a director were fascinating genre exercises with subtle political undertones, using the forms of revenge melodrama and crime fi lm to explore the feudal conditions that still existed in Turkey's rural regions.

His singular status in Turkey and astonishing life story led the American critic J. Hoberman to once describe him as "something like Clint Eastwood, James Dean, and Che Guevara combined."

Yol, winner of the 1982 Palme d'Or at Cannes screens Saturday, Oct. 22 at 6: 30 p.m. The Friend (1974) at 8: 40 p.m.
