but it's nowhere near the masterwork that Alice clearly is.
Kings of the Road I liked better.
Rudiger Vogler is amazing: effortless, intelligent, natural: all the things one looks hard to find in an actor, mostly w/out any success.
I have to say that Hannah Schygulla, on the other hand, I find terrible. Vacant. She has appeared in so many great films one would expect her to have made a HUGE splash.
I'm mystified what top directors have seen in her. She is the weak link in Wenders, Tarr, and Fassbinder films.
Anyhow, I love the road trilogy and can't begin to count the viewings. I'd order them thusly:
Alice: 10 star.
Wrong: 7.
King: 7.5.
