Opis

The award-winning love story Head-On (2004) has been embroiled in Turkish-German identity politics since its release. Opening up fresh lines of enquiry, Daniela Berghahn's detailed and entertaining account of the film's production history and reception instead situates the film in the rich context of global art cinema and transnational melodrama.
