Yol (
Turkish for "The Road" or "The Way") is a 1982 Turkish film directed by
Yilmaz Güney. The screenplay was written by Güney, and it was directed by his assistant
Serif Gören, who strictly followed Güney's instructions, as Güney was in prison at the time. Later, when Güney escaped from prison, he took the negatives of the film to
Switzerland and later edited it in
Paris. As a result, the film was selected as the Swiss entry for the
Best Foreign Language Film at the
55th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.
