Arzu ile Kamber (1952)

Directed by Lütfi Akad

Drama, Romance

Arzu ile Kamber, another film shot by Lütfi Ömer Akad alongside Tahir ile Zühre in Iraq, is one of Akad's attempts at fairy-tale historical films. In folk literature, the story of Arzu ile Kamber, like those of Tahir ile Zühre, Leyla ile Mecnun, and Ferhat ile Şirin, is a tragic love story passed down from generation to generation, so heartbreaking that it inspired elegies to be written in their names. Arzu ile Kamber, the first film adaptation of this story about the love between Kamber, the son of a merchant, and Arzu, the daughter of a subaşı, is a fairy-tale-like story that recounts the past.Arzu ile Kamber, one of two films shot by Lütfi Ömer Akad in Iraq over a period of six months with a large crew, is another of Akad's "failed but useful experiments," like Tahir ile Zühre.
