Aşk, Mark ve Ölüm / Liebe, D-Mark und Tod
Feature Film, DE 2022, DCP, 96 min, OmdUThe song that holds together the two constantly drifting apart worlds in this film is called Deutsche Freunde. Guest workers were summoned, people came—that is the core of Cem Kaya’s story about the dialectic of exploitation and moments of happiness in the dirty work of the Wirtschaftswunder. An “open sesame” to a very special world that remained closed to West Germans: the world of Turkish markets, kitsch pop, and B-movies. Painful and beautiful.
