Mustang

Ho comprato questo dvd dopo aver visto il film al cinema due volte e che,.se ci fosse stata l'occasione, sarei andata a vederlo innumerevoli volte.
E' una storia che parla di sentimenti, amicizia, lealtà, amore di libertà, spensieratezza. ..ti fa ridere, piangere per la commozione o per la situazione,drammatica, sospirare., ti fa capire alcune abitudini di vita diverse dalle nostre, in alcuni momenti ti fa stare anche con il fiato sospeso
Adoro questo film.

Un film molto bello, importante è il contrasto tra la vitalità delle ragazze e il contesto arretrato.Un film che richiede maturità.

Il film è ambientato in una Turchia che considera la donna ancora un oggetto. l'ho scelto perchè consigliato per i pre adolescenti, ma per mio figlio è stato pesante. Il film ha vinto l'Oscar come miglior film straniero, ed è sicuramente ben fatto. Consiglio la visione con un adulto che sappia spiegare anche certe dinamiche.

Rebellion der Jungfrauen....

Recensito in Germania il 22 ottobre 2016

Neben Dänemark (Krigen), Kolumbien (Der Schamane und die Schlange), Jordanien (Theeb), Ungarn (Son of Saul) war auch Frankreichs Beitrag "Mustang" der türkischen Filmemacherin Deniz Gamsen Ergüven im diesjährigen Oscar-Rennen um den besten ausländischen Film. Am Ende siegte zwar das ungarische NS-Filmdrama von Laszlo Nemes, aber "Mustang" konnte immerhin eine weitere Nominierung für den Golden Globe verzeichnen, sowie einen Preis in Cannes, ausserdem gabs für den ambitionierten Film den Filmpreis des Europaparlaments und sogar den Friedenspreis des deutschen Films - Die Brücke.

Ok, eine Brücke für die unüberwindbare Kluft zwischen modernem freiheitlichen und vor allem emanzipierten Leben junger Frauen und den immer noch gepflegten Traditionen eines patriarchischen und von der Religion abgesegneten Systems wird "Mustang" durch seine Einseitigkeit nicht bauen können. Aber muss er das ? Die türkischstämmige und in Frankreich aufgewachsene Regisseurin behandelt das heikle und hochpolitische Thema der Zwangsehen und sie stellt sich klar auf die Seite der fünf Schwestern, die sich langsam für Jungs interessieren. Irgendwie erinnert dieser tragische, aber nie sentimentale Film mit seiner Geschichte an Sofia Coppolas frühes Meisterwerk "The Virgin Suicides", unterschiedlich aber deshalb, weil Coppolas Film eine sonderbare, aber dennoch typisch amerikanische Story erzählt und "Mustang" dem europäischen Kino entstammt und schon von Anfang an als wie eine trügerische, aber sonnendurchflutete Parabel wirkt. "Mustang" hat die Regisseurin ihren Film genannt, weil der Mustang als Wildpferd das perfekte Symbol für die fünf jungen Heldinnen ist - für das zügellose und ungestüme Termperament. Kameratechnisch wurde "Mustang" von David Chizallet und Ersin Gok veredelt und die Geschichte bleibt konsequent auf der Sichtweise der fünf Mädchen.

Die fünf Geschwister Nur (Doğa Zeynep Doğuşlu), Ece (Elit Iscan), Selma (Tugba Sunguroglu) Sonay (Ilayda Akdogan) und Lale (Günes Nezihe Sensoy) sind Vollwaise und wachsen bei ihrer Großmutter (Nihal Coldas) auf. Deren Sohn Erol (Ayberg Peczan) ist ledig und lebt auch noch im selben Haus, in einem kleinen Dorf am Schwarzen Meer. Am Ende des Schuljahres verabschiedet sich die beliebte Lehrerin Dilek (Bahar Kerimoglu) von der Klasse und ausgelassen laufen die Mädchen nach Hause. Auch ein paar Jungs begleiten sie. Alle sind froh, dass die Ferien begonnen haben, es herrscht eine ausgelassene Stimmung. In ihren Schuluniformen fangen sie ein Spiel mit den Jungs an, die Teenager landen dadurch im Wasser und machen sich die Kleider naß. Als sie heim kommen ist der Teufel los, denn Oma wurde von einer aufmerksamen Nachbarin bereits unterrichtet, dass dieses obszöne unanständige Verhalten sofort unterbunden werden muss. Die Strafe folgt und Erol lässt gemeinsam mit der Großmutter das Haus immer mehr eine Gefängnisatmosphäre aufkommen. Mauern werden hochgezogen, es wird alles abgeschlossen...schließlich will man nicht, dass eins der Mädchen ihre Jungfräulichkeit verliert. Da das sexuelle Interesse aber bereits aufgekeimt ist, versucht die Familie die Mädchen so schnell wie möglich mit Zwang zu verheiraten. Vor allem das Nesthäkchen Lale erweist sich bald als treibende Kraft eines Widerstandes - sie interessiert sich mehr für Fußball als für Kochrezepte. Sie findet auch Schleichwege aus dem auf allen Seiten verriegelten Haus...

Und tatsächlich ist es auch die junge Günes Sensoy, die man einfach lieben muss. Ein Mädchen, dass schon sehr früh weiß was sie nicht will...nämlich sich dem ungerechten Patriarchat zu beugen. Dabei freundet sie sich mit dem Fahrer Yasin (Burak Ygit) an, der ihr irgendwann im Lauf der Handlung beibringt wie man ein Auto startet und wie man fahren kann. Der Film ist sehr geglückt, weil er ein Plädoyer für Freiheit ist und eben gegen jede Unterdrückung steht. Wie im richtigen Leben zeigt die Geschichte zwar auch die Tiefen, aber auch einige Höhen werden gezeigt. In Katar wurde der Film verboten - das zeigt natürlich wie brisant dieser Film tatsächlich ist.

Patriarchal tyranny

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 3 novembre 2016

Wife, mother, homemaker: traditional life options for most young women in Turkey. But most Turkish girls these days aren’t traditional anymore, even in rural areas of the country (the beautiful setting for this film is a remote area along the Black Sea). With access to iPhones, the internet, videos, rock music and football, girls would rather be pop stars than homemakers or even baby-makers. Chastity, virginity and purity are male concepts foisted upon them. What they desire is the freedom to be what they want, not what their fathers, uncles and grandfathers dictate they must be. This drama, part autobiographical and made by a female director, is all about this generational and cultural conflict.

The story centres on five young girls, all sisters, ranging in age from about 11 to 17. They are very close and playful. In the bright summer sun we see them in their school uniforms after school. The school bus is ready for them but they decide to walk home instead. They take a path along the beach. Some boys from the school, their friends, accompany them. Before long the girls are frolicking in the surf, still in their uniforms, splashing water at one another. The boys join in, the two older sisters lifted onto their shoulders. The girls wrestle together in this posture, trying to knock the other down and into the waves while the boys hold them aloft. An innocent game, no kissing and hanky panky. It’s all just freeing fun in the sea.

But word spreads. A neighbour has seen the girls carrying on with the boys. The legs of the girls on the shoulders of the boys means their private parts touched the necks of the boys. This fact is scandalous, the line between innocent play and moral debauchery paper thin. The girls, all of them lithe, long-haired and pretty, cannot be trusted to restrain and behave themselves in public any longer. They must now be strictly guarded for their own protection (and for the social reputation of the family). They are too young to understand the dangers their beauty will inevitably attract. Thus they become prisoners in their own home. For their own good, of course. Or so say the adults.

The adults in this case are not their parents. Their mother and father must have died, though we don’t learn how. The girls are in the care of their grandmother and one uncle, their Uncle Erol, he the strict patriarch and the grandmother (his mother) the enforcer. She will teach them how to become proper ladies, naturally with an eye toward marrying them off as soon as possible. Granny was married at 15. There was no love at first, she tells the girls. Her husband was a stranger, the marriage arranged by her family and his. But love, an aspect of loyalty and duty, came soon enough, as did children. Her granddaughters will learn the same. It’s the way things are done and have been done for generations. They must be taught to conform and obey.

The girls, from eldest to youngest, are Sonay, Selma, Ece, Nur and Lale. Sonay has a secret boyfriend who is smitten with her. Like Romeo at the balcony of Juliet, he comes to her in the moonlight, cooing outside her upstairs bedroom window. But there is no balcony. Instead, the call of love makes Sonay shimmy down a drainpipe to reach the waiting arms of her boyfriend. They dash off together into a thicket of trees near the beach. The younger sisters are aware of these trysts and want to know what they consist of, but Sonay at 17 reckons they’re still too young to understand and reveals little to them, though later she lets slip to Selma that yes, she is still chaste, as she and her boyfriend have learned to make love in unconventional ways that preserve her virginity. Selma uses her imagination and looks appalled. But this is what repression will do.

Granny goes to work on the girls. They are taken out of school and kept at home, there to be taught more important skills than those of studies and book learning: cooking, baking, washing, sewing, darning and mending. Their modern clothes of cotton summer dresses, shorts, T-shirts and singlets are taken from them, replaced by long, baggy, ill-fitting, dowdy dresses that make them look like nuns. No make-up for the older girls anymore, and no flashy shoes for any of them. Sonay (17) and Selma (16) will soon be presented as prospective brides. But Sonay protests and will only marry her boyfriend, which the boyfriend is eager for as well, so Selma will be the first to be forced into an arranged marriage. She consents, but only under duress. Sonay meanwhile will marry her boyfriend. On the day of the dual wedding the sisters could not be more different, one extremely happy, the other quite miserable. How will Selma cope? With great difficulty it seems. On her wedding night her new husband accuses her of being a harlot, as there is no blood on the sheets after they have made love. The husband is incensed, as is his mother who is brought into the bedroom to examine the sheets. They have been duped! This scene may be an example of Turkish farce, but it’s also quite pathetic. Apparently the wedding can be annulled if Selma is found to be unchaste.

Next stop the gynaecologist, relied on to confirm the purity of young women or not. He examines Selma and reports that she is unsullied, her hymen unbroken, so maybe the new husband was inept or inexperienced in the bedroom. At any rate, scandal is avoided. The couple shall remain united, though Selma doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry about it. What she could do is run but evidently lacks the courage or imagination to try.

The middle sister Ece, perhaps only 15, purposely sullies herself by having sex with a young man. Is this a form of protest, a way of escaping marriage? We can’t be sure, but under unremitting pressure to marry her mind may have become unbalanced. Her fate will not be a good one.

This leaves the two youngest girls also unwed. Nur cannot be more than 14, yet the family of a suitor is invited to meet her. Yes, she is young, everyone agrees, but she will grow into a fine young childbearing woman, the family of the suitor thinks, as does the young man intended for her. Nur is appalled but does not protest.

So it is left to Lale, the youngest of the sisters, to take action. She is bold and determined, and what she will do will save both herself and sister Nur from patriarchal tyranny.

Though well received abroad at international festivals, the film caused controversy in Turkey, which is what honesty can do when it speaks truth to power. Tradition in Turkey is seen to be ugly, at least this particular form of tradition. Human beings are not property, nor should girls be raised to be comfort women, even if traditional values depend on them being so. Forms of modern empowerment may give girls the idea that they, too, can have a say in their futures. This ought to be axiomatic, a fundamental human right. That it isn’t in certain parts of Turkey even now is what this beautiful film wants to show. Beautiful for its bravery and honesty, then, but also for its visual qualities. The sky and sea and mountains look gorgeous, as do the young girls in all their spontaneous innocence. They are sweet and precious and deserve to be valued as such, not as commodities to be bartered for family gain or social standing. The film deserves great praise for showing how and why some social values are evil. In this it does not compromise, so I respect it for its courage.

Très beau film

Recensito in Francia il 13 novembre 2016

J'ai adoré ce film, qui m'a rappelé de lointains souvenirs. La vraie héroïne du film est la petite Lale et son caractère bien trempé, les images sont très belles et les acteurs crédibles. A regarder en VO. Bon ce n'est pas un film sur la Turquie, c'est à prendre comme une fiction et non un reportage bien sûr. Je ne sais pas si l'histoire est réaliste dans la Turquie d'aujourd'hui mais...un peu de tolérance : est-ce-que tous les films français et tous les films américains sont réalistes. Très beau film en tout cas.
