The Profile

Turkish film director and screenwriter known for realist, music-infused dramas such as Masumiyet and Kader.

Born 1964 in Turkey; Turkish film director and screenwriter noted for austere, character-driven films that often portray violence, obsession and social margins.

Two DeBaser reviews praise Demirkubuz's hyper-real, music-infused portrayals of a harsh but magical Turkey. Central elements are the obsessive love triangle (Bekir, Ugur, Zagor), atmospheric use of music and everyday details, and a bleak-lyrical style. Kader is called a "small masterpiece" and Masumiyet (Innocence) is recommended though considered slightly inferior.

Notable Quotes

❝ Hold my hand tight and follow me, I’ll take you through the depths of Demir Debirkubuz's murky cinema, I will tell you about his magical and mysterious Turkey, also dangerous.
❝ I won’t go further because then I’ll be rightly accused of talking too much about the plot; I’ll just say that Innocence/Masumiyet, although I consider it slightly inferior to Destiny/Kader, offers us equally the lightning style of Demirkubuz and the charm of Turkey and its characters.
