Takashi Miike takes on love in his own, very strange, way!

Inside a juvenile detention center, two young prisoners from vastly different backgrounds experience a bond that transcends their tormented past. As they open their hearts to each other, life around them dissolves between a real world murder mystery and a surreal journey filled with images of a primitive past and an ambiguous future.

From Japan's most prolifically outrageous filmmaker comes the film he hails as his personal masterpiece, starring two of the hottest young actors in Japanese cinema -- Ryuhei Matsuda and Masanobu Ando!

Big Bang Love, Juvenile A has been an official selection at the following film festivals: the Berlin Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, the New York Asian Film Festival, the Fantasia Film Festival, Dead Channels: The San Francisco Festival of Fantastic Film, Outfest: Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, and the Atlantic Film Festival.

“...an overtly homoerotic, Brechtian prison drama whose barely-lit concrete corridors echo whispers of Von Trier and Godard.” -- Tom Mes (author of Agitator: The Cinema of Takashi Miike)

“Big Bang Love joins Gozu and Izo in the Miike pantheon of hard-edged ontological essays pushing at the limit of representation.” -- Nathan Lee (The Village Voice)

“In a world where every generation seems to think their teenagers are finding new ways to break with the old, to rebel or otherwise blaze their own trail of individuality, Miike's unexpectedly beautiful film gradually reveals itself to be a surreal paean to the tortuous existence -- mental, physical, social, spiritual and sexual -- of confused youths through time immemorial.” -- Daniel Kasman (On Moving Images and Motion Pictures)
