When I began to think that Asian cinema reiterates itself and uses the same subjects in the same POV, I met "Big Bang Love, Juvenile A" in Berlinale 2006 and took a deep breath. However I'm one of the fans of Takeshi Miike, the most amazing director in the earth, he again shocked me with beautiful spectacles which reminds me temples of Maya's and interesting ideas about existence. Actually the story is very important in this Miike film. He creates a world from the fantasies of young criminals. Initation rites, fights for supremacy, acts of violence and some of the youths seem to be touched by the golden light of an idealized future (sentence adapted from Berlinale journal). For your consideration, in the beginning of the film there is an amazing dance scene in which a young men both acts and dances... If you're patient, you can solve the mystery of the pilot in the end and you'll feel great...

The film was so different from expectations. Because Mr Ataman has chosen an unusual style for Turkish cinema. He decided to tell the differences between two girls and didn't put any murder in a film ... Feride Cetin who plays Behiye, was really amazing. She is a short movie director in Turkiye but her first acting performance was unbelievable. I hope she continues acting. Behiye the rebellious girl who lives in a suburb. She's a tough attitude in life because she has no friends and her family finds her crazy. It's a benefit to see suburbs and underground parts of Istanbul. The film stands far away from the Turkish classical cinema. Esp. Behiye is a clever girl who doesn't accepts to be an ordinary girl despite she's good cooking girl. Replikas, Turkish rock group, made great music for Behiye's scenes. Also the other Turkish popular songs that are used in movie are OK for the spirit of movie.
