Murat ist schwul, aber das kann er seinen Eltern natürlich nicht sagen. Bei seinen heimlichen Streifzügen durch die nächtlichen Parks und die schummrig-atmosphärischen Schwulenbars der Stadt lernt Murat eines Tages den Transvestiten Lola kennen. Zwischen den beiden entwickelt sich eine ganz besondere Beziehung. Noch ahnt Murat nicht, dass Lola sein verstoßener, von der Familie verheimlichter älterer Bruder ist. Lolas Geliebter Bilidikid träumt davon, mit Lola ein Strandlokal in der Türkei zu eröffnen. Doch dazu wird es nicht kommen – denn eines nachts wird Lola ermordet. Murat und Bilidikid sind entschlossen, die vermeintlichen Täter zu stellen.
| Angaben zu Autorin/Autor: | E. Kutlug Ataman was born in Istanbul 1961 and studied at film schools in Paris and Los Angeles where he graduated with the short La Fuga. E. Kutlug Ataman then directed his first full-length feature Serpent's Tale which won prizes at several international film festivals. He is now living in Istanbul again and has become one of the leading lights in the Turkish gay liberation movement. His weekly column in the newspaper Gazete Pazar had been an important outlet for the gay community. At the Biennale in Istanbul, he presented a documentary on Semiha Berksoy, the first Turkish opera singer who trained in Berlin in the 1930s and is a living legend in Istanbul today at the age of 92. Kutlug Ataman shot Lola + Bilidikid on location in Berlin in winter 1997. | Rezensionen: | Kommentar IMDB:
As a German-American, this movie smashed me between the eyes on several different levels. First of all, the acting, casting, directing, cinematography, editing, all superb.
This amazing film takes on huge cultural issues and taboos that neither the Germans or their Turkish "guests" really want to face. Culture clash is brutally and honestly portrayed, not only between the two nationalities, but within the cultures as well. The beautiful gay Turk who cannot accept himself, the questioning, sensitive (and beautiful) gay boy trying to find himself and the truth of his family, the wonderfully portrayed German Aristocrat and his oh so proper mother, the gay Aryan boy struggling to prove himself to his thug friends, all combine to make a complex and enthralling film. The script is intriguing and contains many surprises. The strength of character that most of the gay players (the drag queens and Murat especially) exhibit is inspiring. The style of the film is dark and disturbing, showing an aspect of the new Germany that you won't see in any travel brochures.
Raw emotion has rarely been portrayed so effectively on screen.
I am puzzled that this movie has not made a bigger splash worldwide. Rent this film!
