...wimp." The local press latched on to the remark as indicative of Stevenson's aloofly intellectual bearing, and a series of "wimp jokes" ensued. ("What does a wimp's read on vacation?

Each of Yol's characters moves to his own music, discovers his own reasons for being, refuses to be translated into a revolutionary slogan or a reactionary curse. Güney has composed, by remote control, an eloquent portrait of a society in contradiction with itself-a place where the peasants conspire with the government in baroque acts of repression, and where a film like Yol can be made but never shown. -By Richard Corliss
