Dry Summer / Reflections / Susuz yaz (1964)
Drama
Dry Summer is a film of passion. A passion for water as well as the obsessive passion created by forbidden love. […] Dry Summer is a film of captivity… Authorities at the time objected to Dry Summer representing Turkey overseas, which presented all kinds of obstacles when the film came to the Berlin Film Festival. The film walked away with the Golden Bear, but before success could even be celebrated it was 'taken captive' and completely forgotten for the next 45 years. Today, in these times of intellectually dry summers, when greed is driving humanity to the brink of starvation, this film could hardly be more valid. Dry Summer is one of the most important legacies of Turkish cinema, and thanks to restoration it can be re-discovered by the next generations of audiences all over the world.
Starring: Erol Tas, Hülya Koçyigit, Ulvi Dogan, Alaettin Altiok, Hakki Haktan, Zeki Tüney, Yavuz Yalinkiliç
