Review of Big Bang Love, Juvenile A (2006) by Joe L — 20 May 2008

This movie is an epic work of art. It's a big step into new territory for miike and one of his best films. The love and compassion radiates between shiro and jun, without much words or development needed.

The story is so complex in such a short movie and unfolds beautifully. The movie is full of brute intense violence mixed with incredible beauty and elegance. The prison it's self is breathtaking the sets are simply eye candy enough.

This is a movie that blew me away and is definitely not for everyone considering the brute violence and homosexuality aspects, but for those who appreciate experimental film it's a must see. Miike continues to impress me and this movie is a new level for him.
