the path is full of suffering and pain- it is full of regrets and tears. those who are forced to leave are haunted, and the ones who are left behind are tormented. there is no peace for them, neither in prison nor in their lives. the road is bounded by the ignorance of the masses and the cruelty of the bootlickers. these are the stories i have heard from my elders. they are not mere echoes- they are the wounds that never closed, the dreams that could not be followed

Super important and brave film to make especially for the time. Similar to the City of God in showing what happens when you leave a society behind. No overt nationalism or oppression here, the only time the government steps in is to remind them who’s in charge.

Certainly an important film, but begs the question if something being socially and politically important makes it good. Or even artistic in any way.

I don't even know if I LIKED Yol. But I really admire the story of its production and the intensity with which it relays its themes and its rallying cry against military dictatorship. I am so surprised that even in 2017, the criticisms against Turkey were still not allowed to be screened in the home nation.

Director Güney directed most of this film from prison, relaying notes to Şerif Gören until he escaped and finished the film himself. I wish the film itself had that much urgency and excitement, but it's a little chopped together and incoherent.

The Palme D'Or is often given to films that carry some sort of controversy, and this one is no exception.

Side note: I've had so much time to get back to movies after settling into my new place and finishing midterms and I am so so so happy to be back!! Diving into my Palme D'Or passion project has brought me so much joy and I'm so excited to almost be done--5 to go!!!
