The power of co-incidence is explored to dramatic
effect in The Edge Of Heaven, a Turkish-German production about two deaths
that bring strangers together. Once the opening titles warn us of "Yeter's
Death", we see Turkish prostitute Yeter meeting an elderly client, Ali, in
Germany and watch her fate unfold. Shifting to Turkey and Germany and back
again, this spirited, beautifully acted drama follows both Ali's son and
Yeter's daughter in the wake of the tragedy.
This film was originally given a UK 18 certificate, but was re-rated to 15
on appeal
Winner of numerous awards, including Best Screenplay at Cannes 2007 |
