ln the 1970s, Wim Wenders was among the first true internationaI breakthrough artists of the revoIutionary New German Cinema, a fiImmaker whose fascination with the physicaI Iandscapes and emotionaI contours of the open road proved to be universaI. In the middle of that decade, Wenders embarked on a three-film 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, Alice in the Cities, Wrong Move, and Kings of the Road are dramas of emotional transformation that foIlow their characters searches for themselves, alI rendered with uncommon soulfulness and visual poetry.
ALlCE lN THE ClTIES The first of the road fiIms that wouId 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 unable to truIy connect with what he sees. Things change, however, when he is forced to take a young girl named AIice (YeIla Rottländer) 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 unIikeIy friendship.
WRONG MOVE Wim Wenders updates a late-eighteenth-century novel by Goethe with depth and styIe, transposing it to 1970s West Germany and giving us the story of an aimless writer (Rüdiger Vogler) who leaves his hometown to find himself and befriends a group of other travelers. Seeking inspiration to help him escape his creative funk, he instead discovers the Iimits of attempts to refashion one s identity. One of the director s least seen but earthiest and most devastating souI searches, Wrong Move features standout supporting performances from New German Cinema reguIars Hanna Schygulla and Peter Kern and, in her first fiIm appearance, Nastassja Kinski.
KINGS OF THE ROAD A roving fiIm projector repairman (Rüdiger VogIer) saves the Iife of a depressed psychologist (Hanns ZisschIer) 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 IoneIiness. 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 stiIl haunted by war.
