  • Wim Wenders March 2 17, 2015
    Wim Wenders March 2—17, 2015 Monday, March 2 3:45 Paris, Texas. 1984. USA. Directed by Wim Wenders. Screenplay by Sam Shepard, adapted by L.M. Kit Carson. With Harry Dean Stanton, Dean Stockwell, Nastassja Kinski, Hunter Carson. Winner of the 1984 Palme d’Or at Cannes, Paris, Texas is a road movie like no other, a meditation on the American West that is at once mythic and vernacular. The film’s stark, spare dialogue, written by Sam Shepard and L.M. Kit Carson, is perfectly keyed to Ry Cooder’s haunting slide- guitar score and Robby Müller’s cinematography, which recalls the paintings of Edward Hopper and the 1970s New Topographics photography of Robert Adams and Lewis Baltz. Played with a laconic intensity by Harry Dean Stanton, Travis Henderson is one of Shepard’s most poignant creations, the distant stranger trying to make right as he travels across the unforgiving Texas desert of dusty gas stations and flickering neon to reconnect in Los Angeles with a son he hasn’t seen in years (Hunter Carson), and then on to Houston in search of his estranged wife (Kinski). The film culminates in a set of iconic monologues between the erstwhile lovers that take place on either side of a peepshow booth; though separated by a one-way mirror and cheap insulation, they see each other with a despairing clarity. New digital restoration. 148 min. Introduced by Wim Wenders. 7:15 The American Friend. 1977. West Germany/France. Directed by Wim Wenders. Screenplay by Wenders, based on the novel Ripley’s Game by Patricia Highsmith.

  • The German Postwar Generation in the Road Films of Wim Wenders
    FOCUS ON GERMAN STUDIES 35 The Long, Dusty Highway: The German Postwar Generation in the Road Films of Wim Wenders KATHARINE BYRNE KRUEGER he opening sequence of the best-known road film of all time, Dennis Hopper’s Easy Rider (1969), is like a fantasy of finding T freedom on the open road, with sex, drugs and rock and roll guiding the way. The main characters, Wyatt — who is also known as “Captain America,” and whose motorcycle and leather jacket display the American flag — and Billy — who wears what looks like a dime-store replica of a brushed leather western outfit — begin the film by snorting a line of cocaine and then finishing a drug deal. Highly sexualized shots of their motorcycles end with the phallic image of Wyatt stuffing tubes of money into the hole of the gas tank. Finally ready to embark on the road, Wyatt and Billy drive off down a straight highway, owning the road, the majestic scenery of Monument Valley to their right; the only sound is of the motorcycles revving their motors. As the camera cuts to a medium close shot of Wyatt, the soundtrack to Steppenwolf’s “Born to be Wild” begins its first guitar riffs and continues to express lyrically the credo of the travelers — “Get your motor runnin’/Head out on the highway/Looking for adventure/In whatever comes our way…” The two actively put themselves on the American road, ready to experience as much as they can. Compared to the beginning of Easy Rider, which pulsates with activity, beautiful landscapes and even illegality, the opening sequence to a German road film produced only three years later, Wim Wenders’s Alice in the Cities (1973), seems decelerated, passive and dull.

  • The American Friend
    ! THE AMERICAN FRIEND In 1977, THE AMERICAN FRIEND won the German Critics Prize as well as gold in two categories of the German Film Prize and is now considered a cult film. Wenders adapted Patricia Highsmith’s novel Ripley’s Game for the film. Jonathan Zimmermann (Bruno Ganz) believes that he will soon die of leukemia. The unscrupulous American Tom Ripley (Dennis Hopper), learns of this and exploits Zimmermann’s illness for his own purposes. He introduces Jonathan to the underworld figure Minot (Gérard Blain), who offers to hire the terminally ill man as a professional hit man. He is to be paid appropriately for his work and thus enabled to leave something behind for his wife (Lisa Kreuzer) and their child. What does he have to lose, since he is going to die anyway? A friendship develops between the two very different men, and this ultimately leads Ripley to intervene when Zimmermann proves incapable of carrying out an additional murder. The cast of Wenders’s film includes not only the directors Dennis Hopper and Gérard Blain—many of the supporting roles of gangsters are also played by fellow directors, such as Hollywood legends Sam Fuller and Nicholas Ray, as well as Peter Lilienthal, Daniel Schmid and Jean Eustache. Guest Appearences: THE AMERICAN FRIEND Nicholas Ray (“Derwatt”), Samuel Fuller (The American), Peter Lilienthal (Marcangelo), West Germany/France 1976/77 Daniel Schmid (Igraham), Jean Eustache (Friendly Man), Sandy Whitelaw (Doctor), Lou Castel (Rodolphe) FESTIVALS & AWARDS Script: Gretl Zeilinger 1977 German Film Critics
