Audience Member Unique and forgotten, just like the Turkish peasants of the countryside. Magnificent score, a passionate portrayal of human beings through an incredibly captured collage of landscapes and conflicts perfectly contrasted with a middle-development of civilzation, the vain symbol of "progress". It's a difficult film to judge, though, due to the incredible superstition by the family and their affinity to blood and descendance, but what would you condemn the most: that, or the discrimination of people just because of their geographical origin? 99/100 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Vigorous and a cutting-edge,special nomination of objectivity goes to Okten's nomadic embrace of these individuals,the outcasts of Turkish society,hardly literate yet who should be judging one's status by classifying them?Guney had the credits before being thrown into jail,I suppose a person's beliefs do affect the political landscape more than often. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Harika bir film... Bu filmi yaratan basta senaryoyu yazan buyuk usta Yilmaz Guney ve yoneten Zeki Okten olmak uzere, oynayan tum oyunculara tesekkur etmek istiyorum. Sagolsunlar... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Much more than a "must-see". The greatest movie I've ever seen. Definitely a masterpiece. Script, performances, everything is perfect. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member the herd is a regard for lifestyles and cultures of turkey. Morals, traditons and economical difficulties on the 70s eastern turkey are describing in the film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
