Abstract:

 

Philadelphia (Jonathan Demme, 1993), a Hollywood film, is concerned with AIDS, a topic,   which has been ignored by mainstream cinema. The film reminds us of the other films on   AIDS, and the ways in which the issue has been represented on the screen. This article   aims to focus on Philadelphia and Les Nuits Fauves (Cyril Collard, 1992), a French film   dealing with AIDS, which has gained cult status since its director died of AIDS. The article   presents a brief overview on AIDS, and examines the two films mentioned above in terms   of issues of the representation ofAIDS, realism, Hollywood and French cinema.

 

Bir Hollywood filmi olan Philadelphia (Jonathan Demme, 1993), anaakım sinema tarafından   ihmal edilmiş bir konu olan AIDS'i ele almaktadır. Film, aklımıza, AIDS üzerine yapılmış   başka filmlerle bu konunun sinemadaki temsiliyetinin nasıl gerçekleştiği sorularını   getirmektedir. Bu makale, Philadelphia ve yönetmeninin AIDS'den ölümünden sonra kült   film konumuna ulaşan, AIDS üzerine bir Fransız filmi olan Yırtıcı Geceler (Les Nuits Fauves,   Cyril Collard, 1992)  üzerinde durmaktadır. Makale, AIDS üzerine kısa bir değerlendirmeden   sonra, yukarıda belirtilen iki filmi, AIDS'in sinemada temsili, gerçekçilik, Hollywood ve   Fransız sineması gibi konular çerçevesinde incelemektedir.
