The Man Who Burns in His Own Light

“The story is always the same, doctor. Poor boy loves girl. They can't get together. Helpless, he leaves and leaves. Girl marries someone else. When boy returns, he is rich and powerful. His revenge is terrible. All the movies in the world are still made with the same subject. Isn't my 'Acı Hayat' like that, for God's sake?”

- METİN ERKSAN -

A short book about Metin Erksan, one of the most productive and original directors in the history of cinema, the creator of two cult movies, Susuz Yaz and Sevmek Zamanı…

Ercan Kesal tells the story of accompanying the master director in the last moments of his life, his friendships with him, and the conversations they had. Not just cinema, but also conversations about human conditions, our country, Istanbul, everything... A man who is angry with his colleagues and the “sector”, who is already known for his “grumpiness”, but who inspires and revives even those who disagree with him with his intelligence and energy. Kesal portrays Erksan as if he were the character of a novel.

At the end of the book is the last interview with Erksan - About Love Time.
Ercan Kesal says about Erksan, “He was my brother, my friend, my father in foreign hands, my friend, my witness, my patient, my teacher and my master.” This book is also a story of companionship, friendship and affection.
