Free and open to the public

Presented by: Zeynep Somer-Topcu, Assistant Professor, Political Science and European Studies; John McCarthy, Professor of German and Comparative Literature

Germany (2000) Dir: Fatih Akin.
In this whimsical romantic comedy, a student teacher, Daniel, buys an enchanted ring from Juli, a young woman who has a crush on him, and later that day meets Melek, who returns to Istanbul later that day. Daniel decides to follow Melek and, on the way, picks up a hitchhiker -- Juli. This starry-eyed romp, filled with miscalculations, coincidences, and accidents dispenses with linear narration and uses political and cultural divisions as occasions for comedy.

In German, English, Turkish, Bulgarian, and Serbo-Croatian with English subtitles. 99 minutes. DVD.

Presenters will provide an introduction and facilitate post-screening discussion for each film.
