(Aç kurtlar). A mountain bandit runs from his many hunters in this violent snowbound “ethnographic Western,” which grafts the aesthetics of a 1960s Sergio Leone action film onto a rugged, documentary-like social realism. Filmed in Eastern Anatolia in a wintry landscape similar to Ghobadi's A Time for Drunken Horses, The Hungry Wolves stars Güney at his most Clint Eastwood/Lee Marvinesque as the bearded, ruthless brigand who's making (and killing) enemies as quickly as the snow falls. The film's lawless events and hardscrabble surroundings seem at first like something from the feudal era, but Güney soon makes clear that the past and the present are one here, with men in suits vowing vengeance against those in animal furs, and cars as prevalent as horses. Güney places an almost ethnographic examination of rural Turkish culture amidst the gun battles, filling the screen with images taut with an austere, raw poetry.
