This is a nostalgic film with autobiographical elements.
Inspired by the director's childhood, the film tells the story of a poor Turkish neighbourhood in the outskirts of a city and the idle boys who live there. We also meet an old woman and her naive son Kocaoğlan. Tuna, the boy's ringleader, is a film fanatic who dreams of a future in the film business, and his best friend Fedai wants to become a famous football player like Pelé. The two boys decide to go to Hollywood to realize their dreams.
About the director
Muammer Özer was born in Bilecik, Turkey in 1945. He decided to become a film director when he saw his first film as a child. His studies were interrupted at an early age because of poverty. He worked as a projectionist from the age of 17 and then tried to make short films and advertisements during his military service. In 1970, he went to Germany and after working there for a period, he went to Finland to study film. Moving to Sweden in 1977, he has arranged Immigrant film festivals and made a number of shorts, features and documentaries.
His first feature is Kardeş Kanı AKA Splittring (1984). Best known for the award winning Bir Avuç Cennet AKA A Handful of Paradise (1985). His Kara Sevdalı Bulut AKA Cloud Madly in Love, shot in Istanbul in 1987 was confiscated (negative and the print) by the police in 1988. A first for the police to confiscate a film before passing through the censors. The film is a strong polemic against institutionalized terror and torture through the story of a tortured woman who tries to create a new identity after prison. Compared to Midnight Express, the film was cleared in 1989 after a long judicial procedure and protests. But its screening was forbidden in Turkey. His last and the most personal film is Hollywood kaçaklari AKA Hollywood Runaways (1997).
Very rare movie and almost hard to find on the net.
No subtitles.
My rip.
