TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 7:15PM; ST. ANTHONY FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 5:00PM; ST. ANTHONY Director: FATIH AKIN This tender and profound tale of two families, two deaths and a search for meaning across two cultures is set against the backdrop of the divide between Germany and Turkey, where the intersecting destinies play out between a Hamburg University professor, Nejat, who fi nds his father involved with a hard-as-nails prostitute, and her liberated political activist daughter. |
This is Director Fatih Akin territory, 35-year-old German-born son of Turkish parents (Germany’s largest minority), who is becoming one of his country’s important film voices (Head-on, Crossing the Bridge, In July). His new film, Germany’s Oscar submission and a Cannes 2007 Best Screenplay, is a refreshingly forward and incisive tale of intertwined lives told with some humor as multi-cultures crisscross continents in search of homeland, hopes and dreams.
