Crossing The Bridge: The Sound Of Istanbul
Pivotal ... Fatih Akin's trek through Turkish music.
The 'bridge' of the title is Istanbul itself, long held to be the pivot of east and west, and therefore the quintessence of multiculturalism, melting-pot, cultural stew, or any other term you care to affix to a glorious collision of ethnic influence and habit. And Fatih Akin's music documentary goes a long way to capturing the flavour of a city in constant evolution."
