Movie to see...

Definitely check out Head On if you can. Its a look inside what its like to be Turkish in Germany today. Its a sad movie, but considering that the main characters meet at a suicide unit...it could be worse. I guess. Anyway, its a fine, interesting film. The setting Western sun over Istanbul is even a plot device. Its playing at the Angelika.

This film is one further confirmation that the Berlin International Film Festival's Golden Bear is definitely the most important award in movie-making. The Berlinale just finished its 2005 awards. American film Thumbsucker looks like a winner. I'll even give the Carmen re-make a shot.
