Movie Reviews of Lola and Billy the Kid
Movie Review: turkish delights & berlin nights
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best films to come from Europe in quite some time. It has enough plots & characters for a miniseries: a romeo & juliet love story, incest, sex, violence, homophobia, compassion, family secrets, suspense, comedy galore, and a twist ending to boot. Basically, it is a social commentary about a group of Turkish young gay men trying to survive the bitter cold Berlin weather and the cold shoulder from their families & comunity. Yet the film is anything but depressing or preachy. It is instead a well written & directed powerful & beautiful story about commitment to oneself & to others. The bottom line: you will not be bored. There are so many wonderful things to recommend, including a hilarious star turn by Inge Keller (a cross between disdainful Dietrich & haughty Hepburn) as an exasperated, arrogant grad dame that, by itself, is worth the price of the dvd. The transfer is tack sharp with rich colors. The sound seems to fade in & out at times (I saw this on my computer). There are no extras as with most imports, only trailers for other films from the same outfit. Nevertheless, this is one to include in your collection right alongside 'Priest', 'Maybe, Maybe Not', and 'Longtime Companion.' Don't miss this one! You'll be watching it more than once!
