Remzi Aydın Jöntürk (September 15, 1936 – September 2, 1987) was a Turkish filmmaker, actor, screenwriter, and producer. He directed more than 72 feature films in his long career.

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 socio-political action The Adam Trilogy.[1] He is considered one of the most prominent psychedelic-action film makers of 1970's Turkish cinema during its boom period.

Life

Son of Ibrahim Aydin who was a military officer, Jöntürk was born September 15, 1936, in Erzincan, Turkey where his father was appointed as central government representative.[2] He studied at the prestigious Kuleli Military High School, and then at Istanbul Institute of Journalism and Academy of Fine Arts.[3][4] Jöntürk entered into cinema in the 1960s starting out as a set designer in Yesilcam. While an assistant director to Sureyya Duru, in 1964, he directed his first film Zımba Gibi Delikanlı starring Palme d'Or winner Yılmaz Güney.[5][6] He died September 2, 1987, at age 50 in a traffic accident in Çanakkale, Turkey, just 13 days shy of his 51st birthday.[2][3][7]

Banning of Zindan in Germany

Zindan (Prison) a 1974 action film directed by Jöntürk, was banned in Germany in 1988. 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.[8][9]
