Nuri Bilge Ceylan sinemasını okumak

"Kitapta, Ceylan'ın Kasaba'dan, hatta ilk kısa filmi Koza'dan Uzak'a kadar olan ve öyküsel açıdan olduğu kadar, karakterlerinin devamlılık göstermesi gibi özellikleriyle birbirine eklemlenen filmleri, doğa/ kültür, yerleşik/ gezgin, tanıdık/yabancı gibi ikili karşıtlıklar yanında, taşra, taşralılık, ev, aidiyet gibi kavramlar ışığında inceleniyor. Ancak kitapta Ceylan'ın sineması, yalnızca öyküsel bir devamlılık göstermesi ve kavramsal bir açılım sağlamasıyla değil, aynı zamanda filmlerinin konularını yaşamdan alması ve kendi deneyimlediği yaşamı, sanatına, sinemasına konu etmesi, tam da sinemaya özgü olan yollarla anlatması yönüyle de ele alınıyor."

Yönetmen Sineması-Nuri Bilge Ceylan

"Türk sinemasında 1990'larda başlayan dönüşümle beraber ortaya çıkan yeni kuşak yönetmenlerden biri de Nuri Bilge Ceylan'dır. Asıl olarak fotoğraf sanatı birikiminden gelen Ceylan, özellikle siyah-beyaz fotoğraf estetiğini içselleştirerek geliştirmiş, sinemasında da bu estetiği oldukça fazla kullanmıştır. Görüntülerin bir kısmında fotografik değer sinemasal olana üstün dahi gelir. Bir estetik kaygının sonucudur bu; kimi zaman renklerle bile oynanır ve duygu dünyasının titreşimleri imgenin tabiatını da belirler. Tematik olarak ise, üçlemede (Kasaba, Mayıs Sıkıntısı, Uzak) mevcut izlenimci ve durumcu bakış, sonrasında bir müdahaleyle varoluşsal olanın bıçak sırtına dönüşür ve bir yerde bir muamma olan insan doğasının peşine düşer."

Exile Cinema

Exile Cinema : Filmmakers at Work Beyond Hollywood
Outside the shrinking American film-culture market there is a vast movie-crazed world where madmen, geniuses, and apostates roam freely, subject to a relatively minimal degree of corporate industry and spin control. In Exile Cinema, prominent film critics profile the oeuvres of working, thriving international filmmakers. These filmmakers battle the greatest odds a modern artist can face: the opposition of mass culture at large and a medium that requires enormous expenditures in every stage of production and distribution. Naturally, the average American moviehead rarely gets a chance to see these marginalized directors' work and often knows about them only through dazzled rumors and rhapsodic hearsay. Whimsical and deeply subjective, the viewpoints and evangelisms in Exile Cinema will serve as salve for the cineaste's lonesome fury.

New Turkish Cinema

New Turkish Cinema: Belonging, Identity and Memory
Providing a sharp and engaging analysis of the films by internationally acclaimed new wave Turkish directors... 
Asuman Suner explores the emergence of the new wave Turkish cinema against the backdrop of the drastic transformation of Turkey since the 1990s. Suner argues that this new cinema, including both commercial and independent productions, persistently returns to the themes of belonging, identity and memory;  it is how films address these themes that constitutes a dividing line, with big budget popular films tending to settle contradictions into comforting resolutions, while independent movies demonstrate their paradoxical nature.  At the same time, she addresses the divergences between popular and "art" cinema that destabilize the very distinction between these categories.

Hayalet Ev : Yeni Türk sinemasında Aidiyet, Kimlik ve Bellek

Yeni Türk filmlerinin bize "hayalet evleri" anlattığını söylüyor Asuman Suner. Terk ettiğimiz, kimi zaman zorla boşalttırılmış, içinde hayaletlerin dolaştığı, tekinsiz, ürkütücü evler bunlar. Ama aynı zaman da bir türlü tam olarak geride bırakamadığımız, özlem duyduğumuz, karşısında çocuklaştığımız, döndüğümüzde eskisi gibi bulamadığımız, sürekli "hayaletini kurduğumuz" evler... 
İncelemenin merkezinde Türk sinemasının son dönemdeki belli başlı yapıtları ve bu verimi borçlu olduğumuz önde gelen yönetmenler var. Yeni Türk sineması Türkiye'de "aidiyet" meselesi etrafındaki gerilimleri gözleyebileceğimiz verimli bir kültürel zemin sunuyor. Hem bu gerilimlere tanıklık ederek, kamusal alanda söze dökülemeyen endişe ve fantazileri gösteren kültürel bir alan açıyor hem de eleştirel bir müdahale platformu oluşturuyor. 
Kültürel inceleme konusu olarak ele aldığı bu yeni Türk sinemasının, artık "ulusal sinema" çerçeve içine sığmadığını düşünen Suner'in zihnimizi farklı görme biçimlerine kışkırtan, elimize yeni kuramsal araç gereçler veren kitabı yetkin bir akademik çalışma. Yazarın henüz görmemiş olduğunuz filmler hakkında bile olsa, kolaylıkla takip edebilmenizi sağlayan canlı betimlemeleri ve başarılı anlatımı sayesinde mümkün oluyor bu.
