Film Reviews by None

Featuring a beautiful music score by Shantel, this film follows the lives of a number of Turkish immigrants to Germany, and their coincidental interactions. It touches on political repression, personal and social morals and the far-reaching consequences of our actions. If you are happy to be drawn in to other lives in other cultures and willing to face your own and other's predjudices then this is worth seeing.

This film starts with one of the most powerful sequences in European cinema, and sets the scene for a romp through a bizarre take on Balkan history through the last sixty years. Using powerful actors and even more powerful gypsy musicians Emir Kusturica explores the relationship between a pair of rogues and a classical femme fatale. If you liked Delicatessen, enjoy Gogol Bordello and want to travel somewhere exotic but are prevented by the credit crunch, then this is for you (but set a full night aside - it's nearly 3 hrs long!)
