The Edge of Heaven

A multi-character tableau that delicately interconnects multiple characters across ill communication and violence, this is comparable with Alejandro González Iñárritu's flawed 'Babel'. Unlike in that film, however, Akin refuses to allow melodramatic contrivance to enter the frame - just ardour and atonement, despair and hope. Highly recommended.
