Summary: ( from www.bbc.co.uk)
"Raw, impassioned and provocative, German drama
Head-On lives up to its title in its opening minutes,
as angry alcoholic Cahit (Birol Unel) deliberately
drives his car into a wall. This failed suicide attempt
brings him together with Sibel (Sibel Kekilli), the
equally desperate daughter of strict Muslim Turks,
who begs Cahit to join her in a marriage of convenience.
Soon enough, though, faked feelings turn real in a
film that's part comedy, part tragedy and filled with
a sense of edgy surprise."
My Comments:
Actually, not so much comedy as it is quirky.
It is a strange love story with a dose of violence.
It is well directed and well acted, but quite edgy.
