A person who hates or dislikes human beings is defined as a misanthrope and the case of hatred felt towards human beings is called as misanthropy. The misanthropy which is the expression of hatred towards the nature and actions of humankind pertains, as a sadistic inclination, to the willingness to inflict pain on others, to see them suffer from pain, to humiliate them and to reveal their weaknesses. Based on the idea that the human being is ontologically ill-mannered, and, on the basis of this idea, inflicting pain on ‘individuals’, putting them in humiliating circumstances and demeaning them, Zeki Demirkubuz’s understanding of cinema gains its meaning in his films in this framework. Demirkubuz who is appraised in the category of film auteur put his signature on films named Block C (1994), Innocence (1997), Third Page (1999), Fate: Tales About Darkness (2001), The Confession: Tales About Darkness II (2002), The Waiting Room (2003), Destiny (2006), Envy (2009), Inside (2012), Nausea (2015) and Ember (2016) in his cinema career which extended beyond a quarter of a century. There is no limit on the self-abasement for male ‘characters’ and their debasement persists throughout films by Demirkubuz. On the other hand, female ‘characters’ are configured as femme fatale and they are used to act as instruments for the expression of misogyny. The pain, deception, debasement, humiliation, depression, grudge, lovelessness, verbal violence, physical violence and mischief persistently dominate films by Demirkubuz. Demirkubuz who ‘adapts’ works by Existentialist figures such as Albert Camus, Fyodor M. Dostoyevsky and Jean-Paul Sartre is alleged to place the focus on topics such as the nihilism, evil, fate, depression and absurdity in his films, however, he actually expresses his misanthropic attitude towards the human being through cinema which is comprised of blocks of motion & time. In this study which adopts the fact that each artistic image reflects its creator’s ideas and each artist cannot be considered individually in separation from images he/she creates, Demirkubuz’s understanding of human being will be brought up for discussion through basic motives in the context of misanthropy concept.
