Head On

Germany

This was a German/Turkish love story. Sort of. He was a decrepit, filthy loser. She was a young woman desperate to get away from her stifling, traditional family. They both attempt suicide. And fail. So they "meet cute" in a psychiatric clinic. And get married. And continue their self-destructive ways. Just together now. Sort of.

I have a limited tolerance for following repulsive people around in a film. These two were past my limit. Constant smoking, drinking, filthy personal habits and outrageously bad behavior made me want to get away from them...just like they would in real life.

This was quite popular with the artsy crowd. Don't know why.
