And now general readers will have the overview they need to contextualize this remarkable body of work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExamining both popular genres and art films, \u003cem\u003eCinema in Turkey\u003c\/em\u003e deals with the country's entire cinematic tradition, including not only its high point with Yesilcam-Turkey's popular film industry of the 1950s to the 1980s-but also its early years and current revival.
