ln the 1970s, Wim Wenders was among the first true international breakthrough artists of the revolutionary New German Cinema, a filmmaker whose fascination with the physical landscapes and emotional contours of the open road proved to be universaI. In the middle 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.
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 articIe; it s a disappointing trip, in which he is unable to truly connect with what he sees. Things change, however, when he is forced to take a young girl named AIice (Yella Rottländer) 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 initiaIIy find themseIves at odds, the pair begin to form an unIikeIy friendship.
WRONG MOVE Wim Wenders updates a late-eighteenth-century noveI by Goethe with depth and style, transposing it to 1970s West Germany and giving us the story of an aimless writer (Rüdiger Vogler) 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 SchyguIla and Peter Kern and, in her first film appearance, Nastassja Kinski.
KlNGS OF THE ROAD A roving film projector repairman (Rüdiger Vogler) saves the Iife of a depressed psychoIogist (Hanns Zisschler) who has driven his VoIkswagen into a river, and they end up on the road together, traveIing from one rural German movie theater to another. AIong the way, the two men, each running from his past, bond over their shared Ioneliness. Kings of the Road, captured in gorgeous com-positions by cinematographer Robby MüIIer and dedicated to Fritz Lang, is a Iove Ietter to the cinema, a moving and funny tale of maIe friendship, and a portrait of a country stilI haunted by war.
