Abstract
Tracing Fatih Akin’s directorial oeuvre, this thesis focuses on Akin’s films Gegen die Wand (Head-On, 2004), Auf der anderen Seite (The Edge of Heaven, 2007), and The Cut (2014), which comprise the Love, Death, and the Devil trilogy. Emphasizing the tropes of mobility and language, I specifically trace the thematic and cinematic links between the films as they draw upon concepts of hybridity and migration.
