Auf Der Anderen Seite

Today I watched ‘Auf der anderen Seite’ (or: ‘The Edge of Heaven’), a nice German / Turkish film about people trying to help other people they don’t know and how this turns out for them.

The film is kind of slow, yet I found it to be very touching. Despite not being a rollercoaster ride, I felt very involved with the story at all times. By filming on very beautiful locations that never overshadow the story, the director sets the perfect mood for the film: it’s not a story, but it isn’t reality either. It’s the balance between them. I’m very glad I watched this.

So if you’re looking for some quality cinema… Watch this.
