%X In this work, which develops with reference to how the city is visualized/showed in 2000¡¯s cinema, conceptual and historical categorization is applied in examining cinema and city subject. When determining the movies to be analyzed, ¡°art¡± movies in 2000¡¯s are preferred, ¡°popular¡± movies are excluded. Within this context, movies in the ¡®Urbanization of Capital¡¯ period are examined under the subject of irrelevant space, which consist the empirical part of this study are included, namely as C Blok (Zeki Demirkubuz, 1994), Tabutta R£¿va£¿ata (Dervi£¿ Zaim, 1996), G¨¹ne£¿e Yolculuk (Ye£¿im Ustao£¿lu, 1999), Uzak (Nuri Bilge Ceylan, 2002), Hayat Var (Reha Erdem, 2006), Mele£¿in D¨¹£¿¨¹£¿¨¹ (Semih Kaplano£¿lu, 2007), and £¿o£¿unluk (Seren Y¨¹ce, 2010). For the analysis of the movies, ¡°historical criticism¡± is adopted as a critical approach and ¡°frame analysis method¡± is used in the cinematographic sense in this study. In the movies, Istanbul poses as a threatening city, since it is not quite possible to live and settle down in this irrelevant space. The characters of the movies in 2000¡¯s cinema, who could not be able to have a sense of belonging with the space and the city, live in Istanbul with unrest. The characters could not be able to establish a sense of belonging with their bodies, as well. The body, as a space of sense of belonging, turns into an irrelevant space with such acts as imprisonment, harassment and torture in the movies
