You must add the label of 1978 to evaluate this film fairly, because "Shawshank's Redemption" is too jewel in the front. I like this dark but very textured picture, Turkey, Istanbul, full of ancient mystery Elements, the shots of several city glimpses are very fascinating. I don’t know if this film...

Alan Parker—Midnight Express, I can assure you that this is the most authentic prison movie, and it really reproduces the suppression and distortion of human nature by the prison system.
