Sweeeeeet ... the teaser trailer for Fatih Akin's Crossing the Bridge is now available online in MPG format here and it looks amazing. With his previous film - the searing Head On - Akin took a fictional, and pretty grim, look at the cultural collision of east and west using his own Turkish roots as a basic. With Crossing the Bridge Akin is working in similar territory, this time from a documentary approach using the music of Istanbul as his reference. The teaser's mighty slick - stylish and loaded with humor - and I hereby consider myself teased. You can check the full website here.

Wow... Thank you, Todd. Here I am, probably looking forward to this film more than any other summer release, and you've found the site and trailer. Wonderful.

Pretty amazing. I haven't been able to see HEAD ON yet - hopefully soon. Akin's previous film, IN JULY, is pretty slight in light of this and HEAD ON but is still a lot of fun and worth checking out.
