Head-On (2004)

Gegen die Wand

We follow Turkish in Germany, and the cultural clashes are at least as interesting and important as the rest of the story. As it is; from the initial setting of Turkish culture and our two unlikely leads thrown together after their failed suicidal attempts, writer and director Fatih Akin follows a path we've seen taken many times. Original is far from the best description, and the story suffers from its predictability.

I do however like both leads, and the take on both sex and drug scenes. It's often intense as well as realistic, but the story lacks some depth as well as curve-balls.
