2 Genç Kiz

this is the best movie I've seen Actually this movie which is called 2 young girls in English tell us relationship between two different girls life at the same time their lives different kind of perspective And another point is this girl's wishes, needs and requirements are totally different from each other and they try to live together that's my point and that's the reason why I like it this movie very much.There is a new girl, who is called Vildan atasever, in Turkish cinema industry, is given a award. And we are the Turkish people who don't forget hülya avşar's performance in this movie of course there is no argument with her performance in her all films i think that she is the best woman actress in this movie and their performance is unforgotten.

I watched this film without having read the book it was supposedly based on. The film centers on two teenage girls- Handan (played by Vildan Atasever) and Behiye (Feride Cetin). Handan is the easy-going popular girl with a relatively liberal upbringing. She lives with her single mother Leman (played by veteran actress Hulya Avsar) and rumor has it that her father is somewhere in Australia. Strongwilled Behiye (played by Feride Cetin) comes from a more middle-class background and wants to break free. She has bright red hair and a tomboyish personality.

The acting in the film is uniformly excellent. Vildan Atasever, Feride Cetin and Hulya Avsar all deliver strong multi-layered performances.The script is smart, being funny and touching at the same time. Another outstanding aspect was the soundtrack by Turkish rock band Replikas.

This film proves that a very good film can be made out of a mediocre novel. I went to the cinema forced by my girlfriend and came out of it thoroughly impressed and touched. The film divided the male and female audiences in Turkey, and I am happy to say I am not one of the Turkish males who felt "slapped" by this movie. Having said this, if your idea of life is soccer and drinking booze, this is not a film for you. For the other lesser beings such as myself, I would like to add that this is one of those rare films we see in the world today that will change one's life. It is also a revolutionary film for the Turkish cinema, finally an intelligent and sensitive departure from the stupid slap sticks of the recent years toward bone dry reality about everyday Turkish life. I strongly recommend it.

Wow. I am sure this is not the kind of festival film Western festival programmers will want to show from Turkey. It is not a human rights concern, doesn't talk about torture in Turkish prisons, not about the war. Not that these subject matters are not important, but for too long Turksih filmmakers banked on these issues, which were real, but nevertheless the films sucked, to say the least. And yet these badly made films flashing and exploiting good causes have long been the darlings of European film festivals. 2 Genc Kiz (2 Young Girls, I assume the English title is) feels and is REAL. You may find my reaction over the top, but for someone who loves movies and has to see again and again, simply bad films in Turkey, finally a breath of fresh air. Kutlug Ataman is arguably the best film director of Turkey today. What is really refreshing about him and his films is that he seems to make his films for the Turkish public in mind and not foreign film festivals. Having said that this film should interest any audiences around the world. A real and huge step forward for cinema. Sorry guys, you may say you have not liked the film but the two times that I went to see the film in Ankara I have seen some of you trying to hide you tears. Good for you! Time to grow up.

in turkey, a couple of directors are auteur directors and kutlug ataman, who directed famous movie "lola and bilidikid", is one of them. when two little girls is watched first, of course, it seems a familiar story about little girls which discover what the complex and modern life is. because this story comes from a book, named "iki genc kizin romani" and written by perihan magden who is a ordinary writer, but ataman overcomes to differentiate a familiar story. ataman, as a smart director, uses a number of soundtracks in this movie that have famous Turkish alternative rock bands like replikas, zen (babazula) and all of musics makes this movie funny. i think if you want to watch a modern Turkish movie, you can choose this movie.
