The Edge of Heaven

The Edge Of Heaven is the latest film from one of my favorite directors, Fatih Akin. I've only seen two of his other films (Im Juli and Head-On) but they both really impressed me, especially Head-On which is a definite must-see for anyone. This most recent movie wasn't as powerful as the the last two but it still had a lot of what I love about his work.

The story concerns the interconnecting paths of a group of characters: a Turkish immigrant and his German-born son, a Turkish-German prostitute and her missing daughter, and a German student and her mother. It's simply a story about life and relationships, especially the one between parent and child.

Check out the trailer.
