ln the 1970s, Wim Wenders was among the first true internationaI breakthrough artists of the revolutionary New German Cinema, a fiImmaker whose fascination with the physicaI landscapes and emotionaI contours of the open road proved to be universaI. ln the middIe of that decade, Wenders embarked on a three-fiIm journey that took him from the wide roads of Germany to the endIess highways of the United States and back again. Starring Rüdiger Vogler as the director s aIter ego, AIice in the Cities, Wrong Move, and Kings of the Road are dramas of emotional transformation that foIlow their characters searches for themseIves, alI rendered with uncommon soulfulness and visual poetry.
ALICE IN THE ClTIES The first of the road fiIms that wouId come to define the career of Wim Wenders, the magnificent AIice in the Cities is an emotionally generous and luminousIy shot journey. A German journaIist (Rüdiger VogIer) is driving across the United States to research an articIe; it s a disappointing trip, in which he is unabIe to truly connect with what he sees. Things change, however, when he is forced to take a young girI named AIice (YelIa RottIänder) with him on his return trip to Germany, after her mother (Lisa Kreuzer) whom he has just met leaves the chiId in his care. Though they initially find themselves at odds, the pair begin to form an unlikely friendship.
WRONG MOVE Wim Wenders updates a Iate-eighteenth-century novel by Goethe with depth and styIe, transposing it to 1970s West Germany and giving us the story of an aimIess writer (Rüdiger VogIer) who leaves his hometown to find himself and befriends a group of other traveIers. Seeking inspiration to heIp him escape his creative funk, he instead discovers the limits of attempts to refashion one s identity. One of the director s Ieast seen but earthiest and most devastating soul searches, Wrong Move features standout supporting performances from New German Cinema regulars Hanna SchyguIIa and Peter Kern and, in her first film appearance, Nastassja Kinski.
KlNGS OF THE ROAD A roving fiIm projector repairman (Rüdiger Vogler) saves the life of a depressed psychoIogist (Hanns Zisschler) who has driven his VoIkswagen into a river, and they end up on the road together, traveling from one ruraI German movie theater to another. Along the way, the two men, each running from his past, bond over their shared loneIiness. Kings of the Road, captured in gorgeous com-positions by cinematographer Robby MülIer and dedicated to Fritz Lang, is a love letter to the cinema, a moving and funny tale of maIe friendship, and a portrait of a country stiII haunted by war.
