Sinemada Temsil Kurmak: Mustang (2015) Filmi Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Forming a Representation: An Analysis on Mustang (2015)

Summary/Abstract: Deniz Gamze Ergüven, a French director of Turkish origin, tells the story of five sisters living in the rural Turkey with their oppressive grandmother and uncle, and sisters’ resistance to be oppressed in her first feature Mustang (2015). A France, Germany, Turkey and Qatar co-production, Mustang, has been awarded with four César Awards and has been French film nominee of 2015 Oscars, along with the box office success in France. On the other hand, film was criticized in Turkey with its unrealistic portrayals, superficial approaches to its subject matters, with orientalism and display of the bodies of young actors. There had always been ongoing debates on what to represent and how to represent, clichés in films, point of view and interpretations of the director that reflects in their films, and the final discourse. These parameters advance as the period of the work of art, the period to be represented and social and cultural settings are added.
