ghost house

Asuman Suner says that new Turkish films tell us about "ghost houses". These are the spooky, spooky houses that we have abandoned, sometimes forcibly evacuated, with ghosts wandering around in them. But at the same time, the houses we can never fully leave behind, the houses we miss, the houses we become childish in front of, the houses we can't find the same when we return, the houses we constantly "dream about"...
At the center of the analysis are the major recent works of Turkish cinema, such as Masumiyet, Mayis Sıntısı, Tabutta Rövasata, Eskiya, Vizontele, and the leading directors to whom we owe this productivity: Zeki Demirkubuz, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Yilmaz Erdogan, Yesim Ustaoglu and others. New Turkish cinema offers a fertile cultural ground in which we can observe the tensions around the issue of "belonging" in Turkey. By witnessing these tensions, it opens a cultural space that shows the anxieties and fantasies that cannot be put into words in the public sphere, and it also creates a platform for critical intervention.
Suner thinks that this new Turkish cinema, which he deals with as a subject of cultural analysis, no longer fits within the framework of "national cinema". His book, which provokes our minds to different ways of seeing and gives us new theoretical tools, is a competent academic work. This is possible thanks to the author's vivid descriptions and successful narration that allow you to easily follow the movies, even if they are about movies you have not seen yet.
