GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

samkoseoglu The opening scene of a movie is one of the most important scenes, covering some elements of cinema. "Yol" opens with an expressive, intense sound harmony that is synthesizer, and its high volume, and the guardian's voice of notifying the prisoners about the letters sent to them. One can clearly feel the hope of all the prisoners with this shivery musical tone. Their losses, expectations, melancholy, and radically quailed struggles are revealed early; however, this earliness is what the movie needs, thereof, the dramatic theme finalizes itself right on time, rather, apropos.Tolstoy's famous novel, "Resurrection", is one of best examples underlining the situation of political prisoners, and the laws. Yilmaz Güney's depiction of the prisoners situation with some scenes like the train voyage, recaptures the parts of Tolstoy's great book and its criticism. Rural area and the people of living dogmas, crime and marriage, are effectively connected. With a taste of authenticity, you feel the critical remarks behind. Having already won Palme d'Or in 1982, this movie deserves the prize of folk, and deserves to be announced as one of the best movies of Turkish Cinema.

guneria What made me watch this movie is that both l heard it from my friends a lot and also Yılmaz Güney's name is enough to watch it.Both in Persian and Arabic, "traveling" means "mosaferat" and the "person who is traveling" is "mosafer".It is a common fact that Turkish has been affected by these two prosperous languages. Turkish has these two words in its dictionary as well, but with a different meaning; that is to say, "guest" or " being a guest" . What l am trying to say is that Güney is expressing life itself in a fascinating way. Living the life is the mood of "being on a road".The life of Turkey in which Kurdish people go through after 1980 Turkish coup d'état. The life that especially the Kurdish people but the humanity in general experience. If the Kurdish people lose in the social and political life, they actually lose everything including family, wife, children, love, hope and so on.The two impressive scenes for me: 1) The wife of Seyit Ali dies at the exact point where his horse dies while he is going to get her.2)Because of traditional affairs, one of the prisoner cannot marry with the girl he loves. The girl is so beautiful that he falls in love with her immediately after seeing her.Instead, he marries his sister-in-law. When he goes back to prison the beloved girl cannot do anything but stare back behind her lover.

mcfloodhorse In this superb and rather restrained film, the soft, earthy and underexposed visual style juxtaposes the harsh sonic shrieks of a child playing violin, train whistles and screeching breaks, howling wolves in the wind, and a woman screaming for her life in an arctic wasteland. Similarly, the simplicity and passivity of the prisoners is contrasted with the mechanistic social and structural violence surrounding them.There's a strange innocence to the way in which most of the main characters in this film use their fleeting moments of freedom to further imprison themselves in pain, obligation and debt. Of the five stoic, yet gentle prisoners given a week's parole to travel to their respective homes, all of them are transported into different contexts of confinement -- whether emotional, psychological or physical -- full of restrictions and seemingly foregone conclusions.Restrictions on the freedom of movement, sexual urges, existential choice, gender roles and other forms of social behavior creates a kind of emotional numbness in the main characters' (and their wives')already drained dispositions. In light of their inability to negotiate their surroundings, it seems as though many of them willingly succumb to what they might perceive as a pre-determined fate.Looking at just one of the five stories: after arriving home, one of the men is encouraged to kill his adulterous wife in order to save the family reputation while she's held in isolation as a prisoner in a remote mountain village. The roles have now been reversed and the situation grows in complexity to the point where the man's indecisiveness contributes to his wife's death in a vast, frozen landscape. In the film's greatest sequence, the man takes his wife and son back across the arctic emptiness where the carcass of his abandoned horse -- one of the many symbols of freedom and strength in the film-- lies picked apart by birds, wolves and the wind in the very place where his wife will die, providing the perfect image of a man, a woman, a child and a country exposed, ravaged and forsaken in an emotional wasteland.

alpber Five prisoners have been permitted to visit their homes. Each has a different story. In this movie, you will see people that cannot decide how their lives will be, all limited by nonsenses. You will see, in each frame of this movie, a well-taken photo of an expert photographer of the mood of people after a revolution. What you will see, is the most handsome actor of Turkey, Tarik Akan, in a far different role from all fun movies he had acted before this movie. Watch the best directing ever in Turkish cinema. This is one of the best dramas the world would ever see. Don't miss it. See the facts that Turkish people still avoid seeing.
