305. Yol (1982)

Country:Turkey Directed by Yilmaz Guney and Serif Goren Even if not without weaknesses, often existed because of the huge challenges that the creators faced during production, Yol is still a masterpiece as it captures, with a powerful, heartbreaking and accurate way, the depressing reality of Turkey during the Evren dictatorship of the early 80's when a military oppression and a suffocative state control were added to a violent patriarchal society that already was suffering from poverty, underdevelopment, low level of education,archaic local laws and behaviours,sexual starvation and lacking of any form of freedom. An all-time classic, an unforgetable landmark for world's sociopolitical cinema
