Faith Akin’s newest film, ‘The Edge of Heaven’, has just won the European Parliament’s first Lux Prize (the trophy was inspired by Tower of Babel).
In the film, talking about her troubles in Turkey, Susanne, a film character played by Hanna Schygulla, keeps repeating the same phrase: “Maybe things will be better when Turkey joins the European Union …”, but when the frustration is reaching its pick, everything is reduced to: ‘F*** the European Union!‘
Sounds familiar?
Here is an interview that director Faith Akin gave for Cineuropa.
