Remzi Aydın Jöntürk

Remzi Aydın Jöntürk (1936 – 1987) was a prominent Turkish film director, actor, screenwriter, producer as well as a sculptor and a paint artist. He directed more than a hundred and twenty feature films between 1964 and 1987 until his death in a car accident while returning from shooting of the movie Afrodit starring Banu Alkan.

Jöntürk is credited for creating and directing some of the most famous examples of the Turkish psychedelic cinema including Yarinsiz Adam (The Man without Tomorrow) and Yıkılmayan Adam (The Indestructible Man), both starring Cüneyt Arkın as part of his psychedelic social-action The Adam Trilogy.

He is considered one of the most prominent psychedelic-action film makers of 1970's Turkish cinema during its boom period. This is due to his unorthodox use of psychedelic yet political and criminal themes, as well as over-expressive dialogs in the movies he directed, produced and written.

An alumnus of highly privileged Kuleli Military High School, Jöntürk entered cinema in 1960s heyday for Turkish film industry as a set designer, became assistant director to Sureyya Duru. In 1964, he directed his first film 'Zımba Gibi Delikanlı' starring Palme d'Or winner Yilmaz Guney.

Zindan "Prison" (1974 film), an action film directed by Jöntürk, was banned in Germany in 1988-01-21 and 1988-08-10. Although, currently ban is not in effect, Zindan remains to be the only Turkish movie title ever been banned in Germany due to gore, violence and cruelty it contains.
