"When I can make place and story cross, and then have a character that belongs [in] that place, then I feel I have a movie." This lovely video tribute to the acclaimed German filmmaker Wim Wenders is also a look back at his Road Trilogy and many beloved films over his 50+ year career. This video from Little Whie Lies and video editor Luís Azevedo is framed around his latest creation Perfect Days, which already opened in theaters (and earned him an Oscar nomination) and is now streaming on Mubi. "Wenders' restless spirit is evident across a filmography invariably characterized by the possibilities of travel. Meditations on identity and displacement, his road movies began in Germany before taking to the freeways of the [USA] for some of cinema's most profound explorations into the American condition. Burning rubber across continents, this collection brings together some of the legendary German filmmaker's greatest works. So pack...

German acting legend Hanna Schygulla will be honored this year with a lifetime achievement award at the German Film Awards.
Best known for her work with Rainer Werner Fassbinder, including The Marriage of Maria Braun (1979) Berlin Alexanderplatz (1980), and Lili Marleen (1981), Schygulla’s career has included collaborations with the likes of Wim Wenders (1975’s Wrong Move), Jean-Luc Godard (1982’s Passion) and Fatih Akin (2007’s The Edge of Heaven). More recently, the 80-year-old actress has a scene-stealing cameo in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Oscar-winner Poor Things as Martha von Kurtzroc, the eccentric woman Emma Stone’s character befriends on the cruise ship.
“Hanna Schygulla is an institution of German and European cinema,” said Alexandra Maria Lara, president of the German Film Academy, explaining the decision of the honorary jury. “Through her long-standing collaboration with Rainer Werner Fassbinder, she wrote herself into film history. She became an icon of German auteur cinema with international appeal.

Road to Nowhere: Wenders Welcomes the Pleasures of a Simple Life in Quiet Drama
In his most successfully realized narrative feature in years, Wim Wenders returns to the road in Perfect Days, a thematic motif upon which he built his early career with his thematic trilogy, Alice in the Cities (1974), Wrong Move (1974), and Kings of the Road (1975). His latest is an elliptical essay on human connection through journeying, this time through the contained, repetitive work of a Tokyo toilet cleaner, whom we learn about through his kindness, work ethic, and the fleeting connections he makes with others during his daily routine.…...

The list of directors who put their trust in Robby Müller could constitute a nice history of post-war cinema. A retrospective of films on which he served as Dp reflects accordingly––so’s the case with Metrograph’s “Robby Müller: Remain in Light,” which starts on Friday, September 29, and for which we’re glad to debut the trailer.
Contained therein are bits and pieces of what Metrograph attendees can anticipate. The series will offer a chance to see (among others) 24 Hour Party People, Alice in the Cities, The American Friend, Barfly, Breaking the Waves, Dead Man, Down by Law, Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai, Kings of the Road, Korczak, Living the Light – Robby Müller, Mystery Train, Repo Man, Saint Jack, To Live and Die in L.A., When Pigs Fly, The Wrong Move, and Paris, Texas.

For auteurists in New York there can hardly be a better series playing right now than "Trilogies" at Film Forum: a four-week extravaganza of 78 films comprising 26 mini director retrospectives from Angelopoulos to Wenders and 24 other auteurs in between. Many of the groupings in the series are actual sequential trilogies, like Kobayashi’s The Human Condition or Satyajit Ray’s Apu Trilogy, while others more loosely stretch the term, such as Lucrecia Martel’s "Salta Trilogy" or Hou Hsiao-hsien’s "Coming of Age Trilogy," very welcome though those are.Very few of the trilogies in the series, however, have posters that were conceived as trios themselves, the French posters for Kieslowski’s Three Colors, above, and Albert Dubout’s cartoony designs for Marcel Pagnol’s Marseilles Trilogy being the major exceptions. There are two terrific matching posters by Jan Lenica for the first two films in Mark Donskoy's Maxim Gorky Trilogy,...

In an eclectic career spanning half a century, Wim Wenders continues to channel the zeitgeist: his romantic thriller “Submergence” recently opened in the U.S. and his documentary “Pope Francis: A Man of His Word” is set to premiere at Cannes.
Wenders helped define New German Cinema with his road-movie trilogy starting in 1974, “Alice in the Cities,” “Wrong Move” and “Kings of the Road”). Over the years, he has also brought to the big screen timely social commentary, a unique perspective on the American experience, and exuberant celebrations of music and dance in “Buena Vista Social Club,” “The Soul of a Man” and “Pina.” The filmmaker is also busy restoring past films, including 1987 classic “Wings of Desire.”

As a long time horror film fan, it’s pretty easy for me to rattle off a list of some of my highest recommends from primary horror genres all the way to the really out there sub genres. Usually all I need is a conversation sparker, or even someone remotely interested in listening. When I’m musing over all those conversations, there’s no doubt about it that the most difficult recommendations to make are the gateway horror films.
There’s several reasons why even the most solid recommendation maker is going find the gauntlet thrown down when asked about “starter” horror flicks. It’s a delicate situation that has to be handled with the most absolute contemplation and finesse. I could throw any film out to a hardcore horror fan without any concern for the subject matter, it just has to be good.

(Spoiler alert: Please do not read on if you haven’t watched Thursday’s episode of “Riverdale”) Well, if “Stranger Things” won’t give us #JusticeforBarb, at least “Riverdale” will. On The CW’s Archie comic book adaptation, “Stranger Things” breakout actress Shannon Purser made her debut as Ethel Muggs, who reveals she’s been sexually harassed and humiliated by football player and Riverale golden boy Chuck Clayton — the guy who proceeds to do the same thing to Veronica (Camila Mendes). Wrong move, Chuck. Veronica doesn’t follow rules — she makes them and if she has to, she’ll break them.

Wim Wenders’ “The Beautiful Days of Aranjuez” has received mostly negative reviews on this year’s fall festival circuit. IndieWire’s own Ben Croll gave the film a D grade and said that it’s “ploddingly, achingly dull,” and other reviews have described it as “inert and exasperatingly supercilious,” “prettily sunlit but otherwise insufferable,” and “a literal representation of how creatively bankrupt Wim Wenders has become.” An adaptation of Peter Handke’s two-hander play by the same name, the film features a conversation between a man (Reda Kateb) and a woman (Sophie Semin) as they discuss their childhoods, memories, sexual experiences, and more. Watch a trailer and clips from the film below.

As he jumps between narrative and documentary over the last decade, Wim Wenders‘ contributions to the latter genre have proved more fruitful, with his gorgeous 3D work Pina and the haunting documentary The Salt of the Earth. He came to Venice and Tiff this year with a new film in the former category, The Beautiful Days of Aranjuez, which follows a man and woman’s conversation about love, freedom, and beauty — shot in 3D, of course.
We now have the first trailer and batch of clips, something we recommend watching alongside our informative interview with the director from Venice. As for the film, we said in our review, “The Beautiful Days of Aranjuez, the latest wistful, contemplative narrative effort from German director Wim Wenders, is the type of “European Film” you might have expected Homer to stumble upon in an arthouse cinema in an earlier season of The Simpsons.”

Who is the outlaw in Day of the Outlaw? Undoubtedly Burl Ives’ villainous Jack Bruhn – he leads a band of bad guys into the remote Wyoming town, holding everyone there loosely as hostages until he decides to move along. But he’s not an outlaw the way we typically understand it; for one thing, he wears a Union (not even Confederate!) officer’s uniform, and his legacy of shame is more rooted in military than more overtly criminal activities. His band of men are far more outlaws than he, but there is no singular one.
Instead, I want to pivot attention to Blaise Starrett (Robert Ryan), the ostensible hero of the story, who starts the film ready to murder a farmer (Alan Marshal) over the latter’s desire to put fences around his land, which Blaise is used to running his cattle through a couple times a year.

It's time to start budgeting for the next wave of Criterion releases. The boutique home-video label have unveiled their slate for May, and it's even more impressive than usual, with some true treats for cinema buffs. So you might want to start clearing some space on your shelves. The big attraction of the month is the release of Wim Wenders' Road Trilogy. Comprised of "Alice In The Cities," "Wrong Move," and "Kings Of The Road," these are a terrific trio of early works by the director, and for those only familiar with his more recent films, they may be surprised by their looseness and how much different in tone they are. Criterion will be bulking up the box set with shorts "Same Player Shoots Again" and "Silver City Revisited," plus audio commentaries, interviews, and more.

In his 1969 short film 3 American LP’s, the 24-year-old Wim Wenders, in the kind of feat of earnestness that can befit a young man, attempts to match his two greatest interests” America’s landscapes and its rock-and-roll music. If we’re to pick perhaps the most endearing eye-roller from this “rockist” mission statement, one can look no further than Wenders describing a Creedence Clearwater Revival album as being “like chocolate.”
But this isn’t necessarily an atypical moment in his filmography, as Wenders has always skirted the line of, for lack of a better word, corniness — if not just telegraphing his influences to at-times-obnoxious degrees, also with a kind of sentimentality both formally and politically speaking. Consider Wings of Desire‘s glossy look, which could so easily be reconfigured into a perfume-commercial aesthetic, or even just the title of one of his later, forgotten films; The End of Violence.

Joe had no problem calling out Miley and Demi as the people who got him to smoke weed for the first time! But now, Miley’s reacting to the comments — and she’s pretty much laughing at him, pointing out that she and Demi were younger than him so how did they influence it?
In a revealing interview with New York magazine, Joe Jonas admitted that the first time he had every smoked pot was with Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato. “They kept saying, ‘Try it! Try it!’ so I gave it a shot,” he said in the interview. But his friend Miley’s not too happy about that.

Bryan Singer's forthcoming big-screen version looks set to ignore the show's unmissable TV update. Wrong move
Battlestar Galactica fans are a funny old lot. Delve just a little way into the interweb and you'll find forum threads dedicated to demanding a revival of the original 1978 Glen Larson series, complete with robot Cylons with silly vocoder voices and ... apparently ... the original cast – even though many of them long ago shuffled off this mortal coil.
What's even stranger is that it looks like they may be about to get their wish: this report in Latino Review suggests that Bryan Singer's forthcoming Battlestar Galactica movie is going to take its cues from Larson's show, rather than the excellent 2004 take with Edward James Olmos, Katee Sackhoff et al. There are some very good reasons why this is a very bad idea indeed.

Peter Przygodda, the renowned editor who worked with Wim Wenders, Hans-Jürgen Syberberg, Volker Schlöndorff, Hans W Geissendörfer, Reinhard Hauff, Klaus Lemke, Peter Handke and Romuald Karmakar, has died at the age of 70. He was, as Ekkehard Knörer writes in die taz, the most important editor — a term he preferred over another commonly used in Germany, "Cutter" — of the New German Cinema of the 70s and early 80s.
Though he'd originally intended to become an architect, Przygodda founded a small theater with Rolf Zacher and shot his first short film in 1969, Der Besuch auf dem Lande (The Visit to the Country), with Zacher taking on the lead role. Later that same year, he began working with Wenders on Summer in the City, striking up a friendship and professional partnership that would see them all the way through Palermo Shooting in 2008. Przygodda won the German Film Prize (Gold) for his work on...

"Apples and oranges" was my off-the-cuff reply to a critic I admire as we rose from our seats following a screening of Werner Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams. He'd just muttered something to the effect of "sure beats Pina" and, while comparisons will be nearly impossible to resist — two giants of the New German Cinema have each made their first films in 3D, both of them documentaries, and, on that day in February, the Berlinale had just screened them back to back — I'm sticking with my initial verdict: apples and oranges.
Now Wim Wenders's Pina is playing in the UK and a few European countries, while Places, strange and quiet, an exhibition of nearly 40 large-scale photographs taken between 1983 and the present, is on view at Haunch of Venison in London through May 14 — the cover of the current issue of Sight & Sound, by the way, reads "The Third Coming...

German movie mogul known for Downfall and The Baader Meinhof Complex
In 1977, Wim Wenders proclaimed: "Never before and in no other country have images and language been abused so unscrupulously as here [in Germany]. Nowhere else have people suffered such a loss of confidence in images of their own, their own stories and myths as we have." The film producer Bernd Eichinger, who has died of a heart attack aged 61, went further than most to bring back that confidence to German cinema.
Still suffering from the fatal legacy of nazism, German cinema emerged from the doldrums of the 50s and 60s into the next decade with directors such as Wenders, Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Volker Schlöndorff. Eichinger dreamed of re-establishing the glory days of German cinema of the 1920s, when the world-renowned film company Ufa was both a commercial and artistic success. He believed that art without financial success, which attracted small audiences,...

The veteran German film writer and producer died earlier this week aged 61. We look back over his career in clips
The sudden death of Bernd Eichinger has left German cinema reeling, as arguably its most powerful and influential figure is no longer around. Eichinger started writing and directing in the early 70s New German Cinema ferment, but really made his mark as a producer – his first serious credit was on the 1975 movie The Wrong Movement, directed by Ngc wunderkind Wim Wenders. The Wrong Movement is one of those odd Wim Wenders road movies featuring Rüdiger Vogler, made in between Alice in the Cities and Kings of the Road, that were so bafflingly influential at the time. (Try watching Chris Petit's Radio On, you'll see what I mean.)
But Eichinger's production career didn't take proper wing until the New German Cinema wave was all but over. In 1978 he bought an established distribution company,...
