3/10
absurd and sometimes embarrassing
29 December 1999
Wim Wenders took another chance to bore the audience.

In his almost three hour opus Wenders does again try to solve all the problems of the world.

A number of people travel across the globe in order to search for someone or something: a love, a fine and a camera enabling to see ones dreams. Especially the last hour during which the enigma of the camera is solved, is embarrassing.

The whole plot is absurd and a pretext to satisfy all the sponsoring countries. Again Wenders hides his inability to tell a story behind supposedly meaningful allusions to other films.

Because of some beautiful pictures of Lisbon, Japan and Oz a 3, not a 2.
