The American Friend Comments

The film was well repaired. I didn't expect Wenders to have also made a shooting film, and at some moments thought he was watching "Breaking Bad". The American friends in ps are as neurotic as...

4.5, Wim Wenders rediscovers a certain quasi-Americanity in Europe (Germany-France), "To Langlois" implicitly pays homage to the New Wave's "American syndrome" and calls Here comes Nicholas Ray, the Fuller-Cinebook icon and Dennis Hopper in New Hollywood. Ripley, the subject of Patricia Highsmith's crime novels, retreats into a real manipulator, and the film arrives at the B-side of crime fiction: noir fiction. The origin of "black" lies in the middle-aged protagonist's loss of control over his...

A special genre film of the author's breath. Wenders' films are always walking on the road with loneliness and anxiety, always sighing silently on the way to explore the trajectory of the city, and it can always make my heart really calm down and appreciate the city of nothingness and loneliness! Wenders' use of colors already has the shadow of Paris, Texas. Wenders' highways are still so charming. I would like to die alone in Wenders' alienated...

The perception of light and color is very comfortable to look at. Black-Reality-Highway. ★★★☆/7.4 #CC...

There is a desolate and touching love in this treacherousness. Dennis Hopper is such a neurotic lunatic that I feel pity for it, very Ripley....

Revisiting after many years. Bespectacled Dennis in the beloved pool room. Cruel games from tiny causes are Highsmith, but this Ripley has a lot more unexplained love and Dennis's own exiles. The framer who originally felt such an obssession seemed too ordinary. Now, seeing Bruno's acting skills is really amazing. The emotional change propped up the two men who were surrounded by various visual deception toy tokens for the first three quarters of an hour that were not involved in the case. Most...

Between Europe and the United States, he completes the self-declaration of loneliness and fate by leaping in space, but in the danger and absurdity of not seeing the way forward, Wenders smells a hint of...

Who says burgers can't have cowboys, and who says Texas can't have Paris? ... It's just that the latter is still eight years away at this time, and Wenders' directing skills are not yet mature. But the black tone is solid. The original author, Highsmith, was disappointed when he first saw it, but he spoke highly of it when he saw it again, believing that the film's grasp of the essence of Ripley surpassed other works. Later, in the interview, I praised the stylization of the film, and "the...

5.0 Robby Müller must have a name!!! The lighting and colors of the photography are amazing, and it took less than 10 minutes to watch it. The cast is too strong...Nicolas Ray, Samuel Fuller, Jean Eustache!! (I watched the CC Blu-ray restoration, I am still in the mood of the picture at the moment, I didn't expect this to become my favorite Wenders work) Frame/window box, and the friendship established by the gift (and the impossibility of friendship after completing the task together) can also...

The motif of Wenders' films is not so much the highway as death. His "Highway Trilogy" conveys a strong literary and artistic flavor and sentiment, and "The King of the Road", which pushes this romantic spirit to the extreme, allows us to see clearly the ambition of this author-oriented director : Completely break the routine of traditional Hollywood movies and make different new movies. For some young German filmmakers uneasy about the status quo, cinema fell into a dire crisis in the 1970s....
