Duvara Karşı

English Title: Head On

Head On is written and directed by Fatih Akın who is a Turkish director born in Germany. He also produced one of my favorite movies: In July.

Even though I didn't expect "Head on" to be similar to what "In July" was, it really surprised me with its completely different style. I think the strength of the movie comes from the character development.

Plot (From movienet):

A marriage of convenience between two troubled Turks living in Hamburg dramatically changes both of their lives in this gritty contemporary love story. Though the two share an apartment, Sibel's insistence on having an independent sex life from her husband ultimately leads to jealousy and tragedy. Director Fatih Akin (In July) dives deep into Turkish culture and explores the slippery slope of identity and cultural pride faced by Turks who either move to or are born in Germany.

If you get a chance, it's definitely worth of watching!..
