Review of Dilan

Dilan (1987)
Extraordinary timeless tale set in the wilds of Turkey
19 August 1999
This is a very moving story beautifully told. The setting -- remote pre-industrial Turkey -- is starkly beautiful, but the situation the protagonist, a young Kurdish girl, finds herself in -- railing against an arranged marriage -- portends a bleak future. Things can and do get worse. Wonderful performance by the young lead actress, Derya Arbas.
