Review of The Road

The Road (1982)
2/10
Not a movie
22 February 2021
Bad photography. I felt dizzy most of the train and car scenes because of the vibration. Other than that, classical angles were unsmart either. I won't even mention the resolution and quality.

Story is very scrappy. Trying to be dramatic but couldn't manage it. Its like showing a crying child to make you feel bad. Very cheesy. The film tries to tell too much story but yet they are very shallow.

Only reason i ended up giving 2 stars is authenticity. As a eastern Turkish audience, i understand the post que era and the pressure upon kurdish citizens. Yilmaz Guney is very brave to shoot that kinda movie. Yet objectively this movie is disaster.

Palme D'or and other awards is just about the political aspect of movie. Doesn't even bother yourself to see it.
