    Happy birthday Fatih Akin <\/a>– <\/p>\n

    \n\u201cThe funnier it is in the beginning of a story, the more dramatic it can become. Because when an audience is laughing, that’s opening their souls somehow, and when you have an audience with an open soul, it’s much better to hit them with a knife.\u201d MUBI\/Fatih Akin <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    The film stars the French-Algerian actor Tahar Rahim (\u201cA Prophet\u201d) as an Armenian blacksmith who travels around the world \u2014 from Aleppo to Havana to North Dakota \u2014 in search of his two daughters, with whom he lost touch after the outbreak of systematic violence that would eventually claim the lives of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Fatih Akin on filmmaking <\/a>– <\/p>\n

    Commencing with his own personal inspirations, he referred to Bruce Lee as a key formative influence, although he admitted that he hadn\u2019t yet made a film in direct tribute to Lee.
    \nFor his first major international breakthrough, \u201cHead On\u201d \u2013 that won the Berlinale Golden Bear in 2004 \u2013 he says that he was inspired by Soderbergh\u2019s \u201cTraffic,\u201d especially in terms of the freedom of camera work, and by Lars von Trier\u2019s \u201cBreaking the Waves.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Another key influence for \u201cHead On\u201d was Patrice Chereau\u2019s \u201cIntimacy.\u201d<\/a> Akin wanted to explore the boundaries of showing sex -scenes in the context of a hard-hitting drama and wanted a Turkish female lead, but this proved to be difficult because of the nude scenes. He ultimately cast former adult film actress Sibel Kekilli.
    \n\u201cI have to fall in love with my actors,\u201d he said. \u201cFilmmaking is a war, a holy war. It\u2019s my own private jihad. When you\u2019re in a war, you\u2019re in the trenches. You create a brotherhood and you depend on each other for your lives.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
