World Film Locations: Istanbul offers a compelling look at the many films shot in this multicultural metropolis. Central to this volume are the film industry's changing representations of Istanbul, which have ranged from progressive cultural center to authoritarian police state. The city's significance is evident in both Western and Turkish films over time, with divergent accounts that continually reshape our perception of it. Essays explore various topics, including the role of Istanbul in critically-acclaimed directors' works. The book features film stills and photographs of featured locations as they appear today, including the Topkapi Palace and Haydarpasa train station. This volume visits all important cinematic landmarks, providing a vivid picture of historic and culturally stimulating city.
