Directed by Wim Wenders • 1997 • United States
Starring Bill Pullman, Andie MacDowell, Gabriel Byrne
A haunting meditation on the causes and effects of violence in life and art, Wim Wenders’s sprawling meta-commentary on the media and voyeurism unfolds in a paranoid vision of Los Angeles where a government operator (Gabriel Byrne) constructs a vast surveillance system with the aim of reducing crime. Among those in his sights is Mike Max (Bill Pullman), a producer of violent Hollywood movies, who becomes embroiled in his own harrowing saga when he is kidnapped and subsequently framed for murder.
