Gegen die Wand

I saw the movie for class last year. While I appreciated the insight into the Turkish German culture, I really was not fond of the movie over all. In all fairness, when I went to see it at the German film night last year, everyone had been raving about how wonderful of a movie it was and I went in expecting something a little bit more....happy, I guess. I felt really bad for Cahit throughout the entire movie.

As far as themes? Self-destruction. The inability to escape one's failures. Addiction. Other happy stuff.
