Head Burst (German: Kopfplatzen) is a 2019 drama film directed by Savaş Ceviz.
In preparation for the film, Savaş worked with Berlin Charité's "Prevention Project Dunkelfeld", which aims to provide people dealing with sexual thoughts of children therapeutic help so that they do not harm a child.
It only started filming after SPD politician Sebastian Edathy was investigated for possessing child abuse material in 2014.
[5] Jens Balenborg from epd Film writes that Head Burst has a lot in common with Shame, Steve McQueen's sober, intense character study of a sex addict.
Like the English director, Savaş Ceviz does not rely on dramatic drama, but rather on psychological oppression: "He takes us into the head of the pedophilic Markus and lets us see the world through his eyes."
