MY SUBURBAN STORIES

MY SUBURBAN STORIES

Since he was young, Yunus Ozan Korkut always dreamed of making films despite there being no movie theaters in Ceyhan where he was born and raised. His documentary takes the viewer into a very different world. Stating that he was inspired by friends from his own neighborhood and even that he made the film in their memory, the director brings in front of the camera real people who live in the neighborhood. Çulluk Yusuf, Rokko and His Gang, Keleş, Kaçakçı, and Afilli are some of the unusual characters in My Suburban Stories. Grim tales, cursing, poverty and deprivation are displayed in their starkest, truest form in this film, where we witness the lives of the neighborhood residents, each more unique than the next.
