Heads On Fire (1988)

Heads On Fire (1988) poster

Four young people—a Turkish woman who has escaped a forced marriage, a Japanese musician, an anarchist, and a male prostitute—retreat from the outside world in an abandoned shipyard and develop a kind of love-hate relationship with each other. At times oppressively realistic, this milieu study of "lost" urban youth loses much of its impact due to its overly complicated script.
