Kara Kentin Çocuklari

Firstly, regarding rumors that the other user review mention: I watched this movie in a theater in Beyoglu, I believe it was Beyoglu Sinemasi if I remember correct, a weekday evening and I was the only audience (a real fan here).

Secondly, I myself own a copy of this movie, so definitely more than one copy around. It is also in the archives of Bogazici University library, I believe Bilgi University has it too.

The movie is realist, no artificial set, many places in the movie (bars, clubs) were real Istanbul places in the late 90s. Grotesque in many ways, subjects fast urbanisation of Istanbul, migration to big city from Anatolian villages, lost youth, freedom of lifestyle discussions we can clearly see.

Very underestimated movie, highly recommend even the quality is bad, because all copies are made from the VHS tape, and no restoration was made, it is probable that you won't find good quality.

This movie is probably one of the most interesting movies of the Turkish cinema. There are several romors about this movie. According to a rumor, this movie is watched by a very few audience (about 250 people) when it released. According to an another rumor, this movie has never released for the cinema and it has only shown in some TV channels. And for an another rumor, only one copy of this movie was made and that copy has lost in the time. But today, we can find this movie in the internet (even it's bad quality).

This movie is about a group of friends. They have a different style and different rules from the society. Two members of this group, Mine and Kursat, get married and moved to an apartment. They meet Ozgur in the apartment, and their life begin to change. This movie can be calssified both drama and thriller. Maybe it isn't a masterpiece, but it has a different plot and a different style for a Turkish movie.
