The lives of six characters living in Hamburg and Istanbul, including a university professor, a prostitute and a political activist, intersect in an emotional tale of separation and reconciliation. Variety: “The point at which a good director crosses the career bridge to become a substantial international talent is vividly clear in THE EDGE OF HEAVEN, an utterly assured, profoundly moving fifth feature by Fatih Akin. The superbly cast drama, in which the lives and emotional arcs of six people — four Turks and two Germans — criss-cross through love and tragedy, takes the German-born Turkish writer-director’s ongoing interest in two seemingly divergent cultures to a humanist level that’s way beyond the grungy romanticism of his 2003 HEAD-ON or the playful comedy of IN JULY (2000).” Sponsored by Cranbury International. Community Partners: Vermont Council on World Affairs, Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Rated R, 120 minutes, in Turkish and German. Film review
