The Stranger Suggests
Film
'The Edge of Heaven'
If you're expecting a movie as raging and ferocious as his aptly titled Head-On, you might be disappointed. But German-Turkish filmmaker Fatih Akin's new movie—scheduled to play at the Varsity for just a week—is another kind of devastating. The braided narrative is about the disruptive urgency of sexual desire, the ties of kinship, and the faint tactlessness of requesting forgiveness. And I don't care if she never makes another film that reaches American shores: Nurgül Yesilçay is a goddamn movie star. (See movie times, www.thestranger.com, for details.)

Cool movie, well regarded by SIFF attendees.
Another movie currently playing at the Harvard Exit you shouldn't miss is Tell No One, a fine French film.
