Head On (1998 film)
Head On is a 1998 Australian drama film directed by Ana Kokkinos. Based on the novel Loaded written by Christos Tsiolkas, it stars Alex Dimitriades as a young, repressed gay man of Greek descent living in inner city Melbourne.
The film gained notoriety upon its release for its sexual explicitness, including a graphic masturbation scene performed by Dimitriades. Controversy aside, the film received mostly positive reviews by critics who praised its stark realism, the lead performance by Dimitriades and the confronting subject matter. One critic in particular, from The Washington Post, compared the film to the work of widely acclaimed German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
Plot synopsis
Over a 24-hour period, 19 year old Ari confronts his sexuality and his Greek background. Ari is obsessed with sex and has sexual encounters with multiple people, most of them gay, and attempts to fulfill one of his best friend's sister. At the same time, he's facing problems with his traditional Greek parents, who have no clue about his sexual and drug taking activities.
Head-On (film)
Head-On (German: Gegen die Wand, literally Against the Wall; Turkish: Duvara Karşı) is a 2004 German-Turkish drama film written and directed by Fatih Akın.
Plot
Cahit Tomruk is a Turkish German in his 40s. He has given up on life after the death of his wife and seeks solace in cocaine and alcohol. One night, he intentionally drives his car head-on into a wall and barely survives. At the psychiatric clinic he is taken to, Sibel Güner, another Turkish German who has tried to commit suicide, approaches him. She asks Cahit to carry out a formal marriage with her so that she can break out of the strict rules of her conservative family. Cahit is initially turned off by the idea, but then he agrees to take part in the plan.
After Sibel tells him that she prefers an independent sex life, they live as roommates with separate private lives. They eventually fall in love, but things take a turn for the worse when Cahit kills one of Sibel's former lovers out of anger and is sent to prison. While Cahit is in prison, Sibel flees her family and goes to Istanbul to stay with her cousin Selma (Meltem Cumbul)—a divorced woman who manages a hotel. Sibel accepts a job as a maid in Selma's hotel, but finds her new life to be as restrictive as prison. She leaves Selma's apartment to live with a bartender who provides drugs and alcohol. Eventually, he rapes her during her drunk sleep and throws her out. Roaming the streets that night, she baits three men into beating her up. One of them stabs her and they leave her for dead.

Head On
by: TorontoBeen waiting so long, you still haven't phoned
So many sleepless nights spent here all alone
I've had it to here, I'm gonna get my way
Don't try to pass it off, I mean what I say
Went out of your way making sure you had won
Took my love and went, looks like you had your fun
Didn't beat around, stood me up and left town
Took my lifeline away and you still can't be found
Enough is enough I just can't take it no more
Don't take no time to explain, I heard it all before
Enough is enough, I'm sick of being polite
Don't need a promise of love over the telephone
Enough is enough
A phone call will do if you can spare the dime
Don't call collect agai, I'll diconnect the line
Our party of two just got reduced in size
Time for me to go, don't appologize
Enough is enough I just can't take it no more
Don't take no time to explain, I've heard it all before
Enough is enough, I'm sick of being polite
Don't need a promise of love over the telephone
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Been waiting so long, you still haven't phoned
So many sleepless nights spent here all alone
I've had it to here, I'm gonna get my way
Don't try to pass it off, I mean what I say
Enough is enough I just can't take it no more
Don't take no time to explain, I've heard it all before
Enough is enough, I'm sick of being polite
Don't need a promise of love over the telephone
Enough is enough, ohhhhh, ohhhhhhhh, yeah
Enough is enough, Oooooh, ooooooooh, well
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
