tek etkileyici yanı yılmaz güney piçinin kadın dövüp hakim öldürmeye ara verip film çekecek zaman bulabilmesi.

The Road
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.
