Barbara G 04/03/2024 I saw this move forty years ago and I never forgot it. After seeing it I never wanted travel for Turkey. Still don't. See more William L 11/24/2021 An ambitious portrayal of cultural and personal conflict, Yol is one of the few Turkish films to reach a truly international audience with critical acclaim. Particularly given the difficult circumstances of production, it's a well-written and thought-provoking film about an often glossed-over ethnic suppression, that of the Kurds in Turkey in the 20th century (and beyond), featuring solid production values despite it's 'true' writer/director (Gören) being imprisoned at the time of shooting. However, Yol can't escape the sensation that it is one of those perfectly decent films that has been elevated to a higher status by a combination of timely cultural sympathy, authoritarian backlash/formal state opposition, and impressive circumstances to the creative process. Yol should be more well-remembered for its intentions than cinematic achievement; as a spotlight on an internationally overlooked conflict it's strong, but as a standalone film there are certainly some gaps that could use filling in.

A very powerful plot that although is a little simple at times in direction, it still has a powerful message. It was RUS. See more 11/26/2017 A good old film about life in eastern Anatolia. The filmmaking is a bit outdated as we can except, but gives us all a good impression of the urban and rural life in these parts of Turkey. See more 11/23/2014 The Turkish society it depicts is somehow still valid today, particularly regarding the Kurds. See more Read all reviews
