The Edge of Heaven
Turkish/German director Fatih Akin ('Head-On') brings together a deeply humanistic amd multi-layered drama as he follows the stories of six people caught in the throes of family and political drama. A profound and beautifully-realised exploration of the complex relationships between parents and their children intertwined with issues of globalisation and multi-culturalism, this superb film was nominated for the Palme d'Or, and won Akin the Best Screenplay gong, at Cannes.
