Directed by Wim Wenders
2 Seasons
Wim Wenders is cinema’s preeminent poet of the open road, soulfully tracing the journeys of wanderers and drifters searching for themselves. Over the course of his incredible five-decade career, Wenders has traversed the landscapes of his native Germany (ALICE IN THE CITIES, KINGS OF THE ROAD), the highways of the American Southwest (PARIS, TEXAS), and the dream worlds of angels (WINGS OF DESIRE), working with master cinematographers like Robby Müller and Henri Alekan to create some of the most indelible images in all of modern cinema. Moving restlessly between exquisite narrative works and innovative documentaries like TOKYO-GA and PINA, Wenders remains a vital and prolific creative force, following his inspiration across the world wherever it may lead.
