Head-On [Gegen die Wand] Head-On, Fatih Akin’s gritty drama, is like a great punk-rock song– rough around the edges, but filled with heart. Cahit (Birol nel) is a middle-aged drunk whose apartment looks like the toilet in Trainspotting. Sibel (Sibel Kekilli) is a suicidal woman half his age, stuck at home with repressive relatives. They’re two troubled Turks, adrift in Germany. A chance encounter at a psychiatric hospital represents a way out. If Cahit will marry her, Sibel can flee her family. They’ll accept him, because he’s Turkish. As for Cahit, he won’t be alone anymore, left to mourn his dead wife and drink his life away. At first, things go as planned. Sibel moves into Cahit’s dump and spiffs it up. The two live, eat, and party together, while continuing to see other people. Gradually, their marriage of convenience starts to resemble the real thing–until Cahit’s violent tendencies get the best of him. –Kathleen C. Fennessy
Customer Review: Immigrant drama looks like Turkish remake of Sid and Nancy
This fierce drama about the doomed love of two Turkish immigrants in Germany looks like an Ottoman remake of Sid and Nancy. Punctuated by the songs of a female singer and her band in Istanbul, it tells the story of Cahit (Birol Unel) a middle aged drunk and widower who has just attempted suicide by crashing his car into a wall head on (hence the title). In a hospital ward in Hamburg he meets the twenty one years old Sibel (nicely performed by porn actress Sibel Kekilli), and they soon agree to a fake, sexless marriage in order that she can escape her conservative family. While they both initially agree that this will be a marriage of convenience, hot tempered Cahit will eventually be unable to stand the jealousy caused by Sibel’s promiscuous life. A violent tragedy will soon ensue. Another great film about the difficulties and alienation faced by immigrants in Europe.
Customer Review: Edgy, Real, Superb
This was a suberb movie. At Germany’s equivalent of the Oscar’s it won every major prize, including best movie and actor. Once you see this movie, you’ll understand why. It’s a rollercoaster from start to finish with such real, flawed characters. The performances are some of the best ever and the story is so heartbreaking. These are people you just keep cheering for and cheering for even as they are screwing up their lives. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes foreign films. Even if you don’t like subtitles, this is one to check out.
