Six characters are drawn together by circumstances-an old man and a prostitute forging a partnership, a young scholar reconciling his past, two young women falling in love, and a mother putting the shattered pieces of her life back together. Akin's piercing sense of the human condition and contemporary world events charge these hyperlinked stories into a multi-cultural powder keg. Review: this is a superb and unusual film - It's been at least seven or eight years since the last time I saw this marvelous film, but having by chance stumbled on its listing here i took a look at the reader reviews and was generally heartened by their sensitivity and intelligence. The best way for me to sum up this film's quality is to put it very much on a par with another film of that period, The Lives of Others, which I believe to be the best film of the past 25 years. Anyone who knows it will know that to equate them is speaking as highly as one possibly could. about each. If anything this is the more unusual film. It certainly rewards the time spent in watching it. Review: Interweaving - Complex, intricate story of a German girl who falls in love with a female Turkish revolutionary and pays for this with her life. Ironically, her death frees the other girl from prison. The parallel story is that of a young professor whose father accidentally murders the mother of the Turkish girl. This character, played by Baki Davrak, is the the most sympathetic, and he crosses paths with all the others. Tragically, throughout the story the Turkish mother, a prostitute, is doing everything in her power to find her daughter, and the daughter is looking desperately for her mother. They never meet. Tuncel Kurtz (Maria Braun) plays the german girl's mother. This filmmaker made a bad movie before this, a bad movie after this, and his future is in doubt. But I consider Edge of Heaven ("The Other Side") a masterpiece. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001DB6J82 | | Actors | Baki Davrak, Hanna Schygulla, Nurgul Yesilcay, Patrycia Ziolkowska, Tuncel Kurtiz | | Best Sellers Rank | #123,278 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #1,259 in Foreign Films (Movies & TV) #18,788 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (178) | | Director | Fatih Akin | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | STDV2801DVD | | MPAA rating | Unrated (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | October 14, 2008 | | Run time | 1 hour and 56 minutes | | Studio | Strand Home Video | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Format:** Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Genre:** Drama, Gay & Lesbian - **Language:** English, German, Turkish - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 56 minutes ## Images ![Edge of Heaven - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510UGLdC5dL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this is a superb and unusual film *by J***K on May 24, 2020* It's been at least seven or eight years since the last time I saw this marvelous film, but having by chance stumbled on its listing here i took a look at the reader reviews and was generally heartened by their sensitivity and intelligence.

Its story-telling style (and not so much the plot) had a profound impact on me then. I was delighted to see it was available on Prime video and I watched it again with great satisfaction once more. Great piece of cinema art. ## Frequently Bought Together - Edge of Heaven - Head-On --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/13467724-edge-of-heaven](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/13467724-edge-of-heaven) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
