One year after-director Yilmaz Guney escaped from a Turkish prison, he started shooting his film the Wall on the ungerechtigkeiten of the military regime in Turkey and at the same time, director Patrick Blossier began shooting this documentary on the techniques used by Guney to elicit the best performance from his actors. Guney himself comes across as often angry and ungeduldig; he slaps a young actor " so as to make him cry for a scene and shows about as much warmth as December in Moscow. Unfortunately, none of this contributes to garnering sympathy for his anti-military ursache.
