Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The movie was planned bilingual: Depending on the situation, actors would speak Italian or German, just like immigrants are used to. Italian dialogue would then be subtitled. However, the production company insisted on a dubbed, completely German version. This makes for some odd moments, like the mother not understanding what the doctor says although they obviously both speak the same language. It also loses information, like the fact that the father talks Italian to his sons while they respond in German. The bilingual version is contained in the DVD. more

A really impressive and sincere film from Fatih Akýn(Turkish Director) about being outsiders, 20 May 2003
9/10
Author: kaan (kaankk@hotmail.com) from istanbul

this film takes you inside itself in the early minutes and holds you till the end. it has a very humane story and very good selected music. The acting of Moritz Bleibtreu (Giancarlo Amato) and Barnaby Metschurat (Gigi Amato) is satisfying. Recommended to people who get bored of action films and want to see a good movie.
