This book provides a critically informed account of the Turkey-born France-based director Deniz Gamze Erguven's debut film Mustang (2015).
While this book aims to locate Mustang within the intersection of emerging female and youth narratives in the cinema of Turkey, it also provides a critical understanding of the differences in Mustang's local and global reception.
Engaging with both Anglophone and Turkish literature in youth cinema and gender studies, this book makes an original contribution to current debates on national/transnational cinemas and gender/youth studies.
