Product Description

The destinies of six characters are bound together by fate in this gripping and moving feature from acclaimed director Fatih Akin (Head On, Crossing the Bridge). The story begins as widower Ali seeks out companionship with the prostitute Yeter, setting in motion a chain of events that will link three families across different cultures, countries and generations. Skilfully constructed and brilliantly played by an outstanding cast, The Edge of Heaven is an ambitious and compelling tale of tragedy, betrayal, persecution and redemption. Extras: Theatrical Trailer / 'Diary of a Traveling Filmmaker' documentary / Interview with director Fatih Akin


Synopsis

Director Fatih Akin (HEAD-ON) flies between Germany and Turkey for this drama. THE EDGE OF HEAVEN (AUF DER ANDEREN SEITE) explores the relationship between a father and son, as well as the contentious issues of immigration and bureaucracy.

4.0 out of 5 stars subtle and very watchable, 23 Jun 2008
By Bogdan Tiganov (London, UK) - See all my reviews
The Edge of Heaven, to give you it's correct title, is a film that has received a lot of attention from worldwide film buffs. What you have here is a film that explores identity in a world in which realisations come much too late but, God willing, come.

There are several characters in the film whose stories interconnect and whose lives directly or indirectly affect one another's. The German professor, his father, his father's girlfriend, his father's girlfriend's daughter, his father's girlfriend's daughter's girlfriend...you see where this is going, a domino-like effect in narration which builds up throughout the film.

The Edge of Heaven does not attempt to bash you over the head with its meaning. It takes its time to show you, to move you, and its cinematography is never anything less than beautiful. The actors do a good job (although the Turkish girl is slightly grating) and my personal favourite is the old man: bitter, independent and very much alive.

Comes highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highest Quality, 17 Jun 2008
By Max Scharnberg (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
More than most contemporary movies is this a film that can be enjoyed by the most different audiences: young, old, high-brow, low-brow, those who like emotions, or action. It can be seen as mere entertainment, but also as a source of moral questions. More than once will things happen that run counter to our expectations - but the unexpected will never break the continuity. Germans and Turks will land in the countries of each other and (what is much more important) because of the most discrepant reasons.
