NOTE: Guney's later films can be bought on DVD with English, German and French subtitles on www.Tulumba.com they are probably PAL though

I believe it is very important to promote Guney to a wider audience, his films although at times not made in the best conditions are milestones in cinema history and the history of a nation.

unfortunately it's dubbed. and dubbed horribly. what a shame for such good film.

from wikipedia:

The rights to Yol were disputed for a long time. Even during Yilmaz Güney's lifetime, there were major conflicts about the ownership of the film between Güney and Donat Keusch, the head of a Swiss-based service company called Cactus Film AG, who claimed to own the entire rights of the film. After Güney's death, the dispute escalated between Keusch and Güney's widow.

When Keusch filed for bankruptcy with his Cactus Film AG in 1999, the situation became even more complicated and resulted in numerous lawsuits in both Switzerland and France. There still are numerous sellers in the market claiming to be the sole owner of the world rights to Yol, and the film is offered in different versions through different distribution channels.

According to the RCA-directory of the French CNC (film number 2010.2922), Donat Keusch acquired the exclusive rights for Yol on March 4, 2010.

The film is available to view on YouTube with English subtitles.
