HEAD ON (Gegen die Wand) (2004) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Fatih Akin

Written by - Fatih Akin

Starring - Birol Unel, Sibel Kekilli, Catrin Striebeck

"Fatih Akin’s stylish drama that fearlessly mixes sexuality and suicide is set in the Turk community of Germany and is about two young Turks getting married for convenience so he can get a young and cute house cleaner and she can move out of her oppressing traditionalist Muslim household. There are contrasting cultures and themes in this film which create drama but do not sacrifice a poignant dose of black humour, as well as compelling and crude visuals of violence and sex."

Drama, Germany/Turkey
