Summary/Abstract: Tayfun Pirselimoğlu discussed the issue of the other or another, one of the favorite themes of philosophy of existentialism, in his film I'm not Him (2014) through an unrealistic experience of a man who superseded another man and by transforming some themes of film noir in line with his intentions, as well. According to the philosopher Emmanuel Mounier, theme of the other has freakily become the most important conquest of the philosophy of existentialism where and when the classical philosophy kept the lid on it (1986: 138). Pirselimoğlu also said that the theme of "being another" was one of his greatest obsessions. Therefore, this paper studies what kind of a connection can be established between image of and theme of the other reflected in the I'm not Him.
