200. The herd (1979)


Country: Turkey
Directed by Zeki Okten

My favorite film among those that Zeki Okten shot under the directions of the jailed Yilmaz Guney, "the Herd" is a materpiece of the realistic political cinema that presents with a rare complexity a devastating in many levels picture of Turkish society , portraying the country as a feudal, undeveloped, corrupted place where injustice and extreme exploitation of the illiterate poor are a sad norm. Okten and Guney scream for a radical social change through powerful images of misery that haunt the viewer of the film long after he finishes watching the movie
