A portrait of passionate, all-consuming love born out of desperation.
- MIAMI HERALD
Love does not just hurt in the jagged German romance Head-On""; it cuts and bleeds and even kills.""
- Manohla Dargis, NEW YORK TIMES
Raw, impassioned and provocative, German drama Head-On"" lives up to its title in its opening minutes, as angry alcoholic Cahit deliberately drives his car into a wall. This failed suicide attempt brings him together with Sibel, the equally desperate daughter of strict Muslim Turks, who begs Cahit to join her in a marriage of convenience. Soon enough, though, faked feelings turn real in a film that is part comedy, part tragedy and filled with a sense of edgy surprise.""

Un film percutant, une séance d électrochoc comme nous en propose trop rarement le cinema.

Une oeuvre ambitieuse, originale, pleine de passions défoulées.

Un conte passionné. Porté par les prestations remarquables des deux têtes d affiche. Un film aussi fiévreux qu étonnant.
