Political criticism is a method of film criticism based on the Marxist theory. This method deals with the concepts of production and relations which are specific to the Marxist theory; the sub-structure-up-structure relationship; the ideology and misconsciousness; foreignization and metalization; and is made up of measures that complement each other, such as ‘the place of the director in the dominant production relations, class conditions and ideology’, ‘the production conditions and the production form in which the film is produced’, ‘the typicity and integrity in the story and characters of the film’, ‘the way of processing and the originality in the form of the film’ and ‘the political context of the film and the criticism of this context’ and is made up of measures that complement each other by asking how this measure can be answered by a Marxist and literary authority. The topic of this article, Yavuz Turgul's last film, is the political criticism of Road Separation. Therefore, the article aims to criticize Yavuz Turgul's Road Separation film, which was chosen and released in 2017 depending on the aim of the method of sampling, and asks for answer to the question whether this criticize can be done with the aforementioned method. It is also assumed that this film does not contain the characteristics of typicity and integrity, depending on the director's resume and the possibilities of filmmaking; it is not metalized and original in terms of form, it is politically didactic and forced; instead of reflecting the existing form of production and relationships as it is, it is assumed that the director with both his story and his idealized characters speaks the subjective reality of the way he perceives the world and his country.
