Hi, I am a Turkish-American and I am in the process of completing a 120-page thesis on Turkish cinema. I also have an interest in Greek film, but alas like Turkish films they are all too hard to find on American shores. I stumbled across this film called "A Touch of Spice." It sounds very interesting. There seem too be quite a few Turkish-Greek co-productions these days! I know of two Turkish films with Greek overlaps, they are Camur/Mud (2003) made by Turkish Cypriot director Dervis Zaim and another one called Gemide/On the Boat, which came out around 2001 and was alas was widely panned. But, these ventures would have been unthinable in the '70s and it is a great thing too see. At some point in time, I would like to organzie a Turkish and Greek film fest in America. It is a shame more Greek films are not shown here either. At the present time, Theo Angelopoluous' "Landscape in the Mist" is my favorite Greek film but I understand much like the current Turkish film "Distant"; it is not indicative of many contemporary Greek films since its' influences are mostly those from other European cultures. Anyway, I definitely want too see "A Touch of Spice." any help one can give would be most appreciated.
