Customer Reviews of The Wall (Duvar) (Turkish with English Subtitles)
DUVAR - THE WALL (Yilmaz Guney) 1983 The wall is based on a group of Kurdish teenage and children convicts in a maximum secuirity prison in Turkey prisoned for minor involvment in the Kurdish Freedom struggle.The film deals with the harsh reality of Turkish prisons at the time and how the officials within the prison force the prisoners into false statments about involvment in terrorism and carry out a daily torture routine.The film is an excellent reflection of the problems faced by ordinary working class and Kurdish people at the hands of the Turkish authorities at the time.The boys realise that they only have two options - either to escape and risk death or wait for a chance to be transferred to a so called better prison. Yilmaz Guney wrote the script and directed the film while he was in Paris seeking Political Asylum after he had been denied of his Turkish citizenship for directing films which dealt with similar issues, the most famous being the film YOL (Way) 1982 Cannes film festival award winner.He died in Paris and was buried there (1987? correct me if i am wrong)The film was upto the early 1990's banned in Turkey.Since Turkish censors have allowed the film to be screened and I definatly reccomend any person intrested in political and everyday hardship of the working class, groups of different religon and ethnic minorities in oppressing countries such as Turkey was, to see the film.
