In the course of the film children are lost, lost parents are never found, and generational and geographical distances grow wider. Yet at the same time, as the lives of the characters cross and entwine, there is a sense of human connections becoming stronger and thicker, of a fragile moral order coalescing beneath the randomness and cruelty of modern life. 116 minutes FILMS ARE SCREENED AS A PART OF B URCU KARAHAN-RICHARDSON'S COMPLIT 144/244A THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN TURKISH CINEMA AND LITERATURE . This course investigates differing degrees of interaction between literature and the films it inspires. We look at literary adaptations that exemplify somewhat faithful renditions of the texts as well as those that merely share a common subject matter. Among the themes we investigate are different forms of banditry, honor killings, the use of books in film, and problems of representation.
