Law Of The Border (1966)
Spine #878
Blu-ray
Set along the Turkish-Syrian frontier, this terse, elemental tale of smugglers contending with a changing social landscape brought together two giants of Turkish cinema. Director Lütfi Ö Akad had already made some of his country's most notable films when he was approached by Yilmaz Güney — a rising action star who would become Turkey's most important and controversial filmmaker — to collaborate on this neo-western about a quiet man who finds himself pitted against his fellow outlaws. Combining documentary authenticity with a tough, lean poetry, Law of the Border transformed the nation's cinema forever — even though it was virtually impossible to see for many years.
