Zusammenfassung:A brutal naturalist melodrama, "Dry Summer", which won the Golden Bear at the 1964 Berlin Film Festival, returns to the spotlight in a new restoration after decades of suppression by Turkish authorities: an arid fate for one of the most exciting films of the 1960s. Viscerally tactile, unsparing, and even on occasion outright lurid, "Dry Summer" has been described by filmmaker Fatih Akin as 'one of the most important legacies of Turkish cinema'. It tells a tale of a group of workers in dispute with a rapacious landlord who decides the construction of new irrigation infrastructure must first and foremost service his own property. The battle between the factions plays out in stunning set-pieces recalling Bergman or John Ford, while its baked images of labour recall Mexican-period Buñuel. [www.moviemail.com]
