In the 1970s, Wim Wenders was among the first true internationaI breakthrough artists of the revoIutionary New German Cinema, a filmmaker whose fascination with the physicaI Iandscapes and emotionaI contours of the open road proved to be universal. 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, aIl rendered with uncommon soulfulness and visual poetry.
ALlCE lN THE CITlES The first of the road films that would come to define the career of Wim Wenders, the magnificent Alice in the Cities is an emotionally generous and Iuminously shot journey. A German journalist (Rüdiger Vogler) is driving across the United States to research an article; it s a disappointing trip, in which he is unabIe to truIy connect with what he sees. Things change, however, when he is forced to take a young girI named Alice (YeIIa RottIänder) with him on his return trip to Germany, after her mother (Lisa Kreuzer) whom he has just met Ieaves the chiId in his care. Though they initiaIIy find themseIves at odds, the pair begin to form an unlikeIy friendship.
WRONG MOVE Wim Wenders updates a Iate-eighteenth-century noveI by Goethe with depth and style, transposing it to 1970s West Germany and giving us the story of an aimIess writer (Rüdiger VogIer) who Ieaves his hometown to find himseIf 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 least seen but earthiest and most devastating soul searches, Wrong Move features standout supporting performances from New German Cinema regulars Hanna Schygulla and Peter Kern and, in her first fiIm appearance, Nastassja Kinski.
KINGS OF THE ROAD A roving film projector repairman (Rüdiger Vogler) saves the Iife of a depressed psychologist (Hanns Zisschler) who has driven his Volkswagen 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 taIe of male friendship, and a portrait of a country still haunted by war.
