Zeki Demirkubuz
Zeki Demirkubuz (born 1 October 1964 in Isparta, Turkey) is a contemporary Turkish film director, screenwriter, producer and film editor.
Demirkubuz, refers to Dostoevsky in his cinematographic mentality. His scenarios grow on the ethical dilemmas of the human condition. He usually uses basic concepts, such as love, passion, self-sacrifice, and the absurdity of life and death.
When you watch Demirkubuz movies you can feel like reading Dostoyevsky. Masumiyet (Innocence) and Kader (Destiny) are his masterpieces. Finally, he made a film called Yeralti (Inside) which is adapted Dostoevsky's novel "Notes from Undergroud".
MASUMİYET
Yusuf (Güven Kıraç), who completed his ten-year sentence and left the prison, came to İzmir to visit his sister. He had to settled in a dilapidated and cheap hotel, as he has no other place to go. He waits in desperation while crossing the road with a strange family staying in the same hotel. Bekir (Haluk Bilginer), Uğur (Derya Alabora) and Çilem will turn into a hope and then a shocking destiny in Yusuf's battle to survive. At the beginning of the movie, we see also Yusuf talking to the prison director. Yusuf, who has nowhere to go, tells the prison manager that he wants to stay in prison, and if it will not allow, he will commit another crime. Meanwhile, the door metaphor, which will be repeated continuously in the films of Demirkubuz, comes into play. In this film, the door gets new meaning as "the reality behind the truth".
KADER
It is story about platonic love Bekir to Uğur. A love that weighs heavily on those who ignore their own lives, and spoils the lives of his wife and child. The love was so important that they sacrifice their previous lives, that is why Bekir has no choice but to say "fate" instead of admitting that this is his choice. Well, is it really fate?
YERALTI
"In the underground" tells about the life of Muharrem, who stopped writing and continued his life as an ordinary civil servant. Muharrem is obsessive, funky and complex. He is a person who is excluded by his friends, has no courage to say what goes through, and creates problems. "In the underground", the inner world of officer Muharrem who lives alone in Ankara. The film "in the underground", which was adapted from the notes of Fyodor Dostoyevsky by Zeki Demirkubuz, was shot in Ankara.
I recommend his movies to you. Here you also can find English subtitles of his movies.
