Sun 4 May

Germany/1976/176 mins/subtitled/18. Dir: Wim Wenders. With Rudiger Vogler, Hanns Zischler, Lisa Kreuzer.

Now travelling under its original, more accurate title - In The Course of Time - this king of Road Movies is a wistful, hypnotic story of two men meandering through the end-of-the-road towns on the East German border.

The stunning black-and-white cinematography further enhances Wenders’ honest study of travelling, cinema (one of the central characters repairs projectors in run-down theatres) and the baleful impact of American culture.

"often imitated but rarely bettered" - Channel 4

 

Wim Wenders Wim Wenders With his photographer’s eye for landscape and architecture, a fine ear for music, and a rare ability to express subtle emotions through movement, gestures and glances, Wim Wenders was a leading light of the New German Cinema of the 1970s. more
