About This Movie

İftira is a 1968 film that blends action, crime, and drama. Directed by Fati Film Production, this film showcases an intriguing story of martial arts and personal loyalty set against a backdrop of historical turmoil.

The film follows Ilir Luma, a martial arts master who specializes in the Pelasgian art of 'Mundije.' After escaping a communist regime at the age of 14, he witnesses a hanging in Albania before moving to Germany. There, he meets Ana, who becomes both his student and girlfriend, with a promise to support her in times of need.

Years later, the narrative intensifies as Ana is kidnapped and taken to Mexico, putting Ilir's loyalty and martial arts skills to the test. The film's gripping storyline and action-packed sequences attract fans of the action and crime genres, particularly those interested in international cinema from the late 1960s.

İftira is a somewhat obscure entry in the late '60s Albanian cinema landscape, making it a rare find for collectors. Its original prints are scarce, and the film's unique cultural perspective adds to its appeal among enthusiasts of international cinema. Many collectors are drawn to the film not just for its story but also for its historical significance, capturing a moment in time when martial arts began to gain popularity outside of Asia. The film has been released in a few niche formats, but finding a good quality copy remains a challenge for serious collectors.
