195. The bus (1976)


Country: Turkey
Directed by Tunc Okan

Many years passed since I watched this film but still I remember its vivid effort to depict the strong cultural shock that many immigrants faced back then going to the West -something that in many cases still remains the same- but also its intention to deal with most of their other issues as xenophobia, discrimination, exploitation, failed expectations etc. One of the most direct and universally valid films about immigration, 'The bus' may have a lot of weak sides but is worth satching because it captures quite well the traumatic experience of migration from the immigrants point view
