Check with your local VHS store, if it still exists, or your library to see if any of them are available there. He's a giant of modern film, along with Herzog, Pasolini, and Fassbinder.

Library had it, on DVD no less (in German)... - mpathus 11:03:30 09/05/08 (0)
...Anchor Bay entertainment (2002), "The Wim Wenders collection"!

Really enjoyed it, especially for the use of environmental framing, pacing, details, and Bruno Ganz.

It hooked me from the first moment. Is it a Wenders thing to build to a climactic point of absurdity? It somewhat reminded me of a "Guare moment", like in film: "Atlantic City", or play: "Landscape of the Body".

Something about Ganz remins me of Javier Bardem.

My favorite Wim Wenders' so far...great cinema.
Off to the Library it is; thanks! ~t - mpathus 09:29:40 08/31/08 (0)
