This German/ Turkish collaboration is a fine entertainment. Without undue characterisation, we are launched into an occasionally hillarious and often entertaingly derivative tale of the growing relationship between the hurt man and the women he enters into on a marriage of convenience.
It is is artfully shot; there are some interesting angles and mis-en-scene, the cuts to the band and singer breaks the action up nicely. It also is succesful in never falling into a lull of genre rules.
All the same, this is in honesty a pretty conventional love story, even if a synopsis of the plot might not give that impression. The action is always enthralling, we come to know the characters (however much we know any of them) through this rather than anything else.
Good fun, keeps the pace up, with a few moments of poignant beauty as little bits of the world crash around our feet. Not metaphysical, but worth watching.
