Example text

He buries Keje’s body in the ground and covers her head with a basket, challenging Seyyit to a marksmanship contest. Seyyit falls into the trap and kills the woman he loves. The film foregrounds the silence that contaminates women’s lives in feudal societies regulated by strict codes of behaviour. The 114 sura of the Koran (which incidentally are all addressed to men) define the borders of the relationship of 45 Seyyit Han (1968) by Yılmaz Güney, an experiment in crossing genres (folkloric, romantic, fantastic, neo-realistic and supernatural) featuring Güney as the brave loner doomed to kill the woman he loves women with men and the superior position of men rather than establishing the rights of women.

In societies like ours, love is not like the trembling of a branch in the wind. Our world carries the essence and rhythm of violence. Yılmaz (Güney) was a man of this society, not a modernized, domesticated, assimilated man but one that expressed himself with his gun, his manhood and his cinema. His cinema is not different than the way he lived his life or the way he treated women. If he loved a woman, to kill himself for her or to kill her was natural behaviour for him. You may call it ‘macho’.

The sentimental genre that concerns itself with relationships within the traditional family structure – a working father, housewife mother and school-age children – is perhaps the only arena for women to appear as visible characters in commercial cinema. In the 1990s, with the extraordinary advances in communications, rapid globalization and the rise of fundamentalism, new situations were created all over the world. Despite common misconceptions, women have made remarkable gains in Iran, although the fight for individual freedom is still far from won.
