The tone, photography, and soundtrack are all excellent, but the narrative is really messed up. . ....

Wenders is indifferent, how can a story with normal emotions be so weird? If it's this style, I can only say that I don't like...

The ending is a movie of the sea. A must-see movie from the 70's. A wonderful classic textbook of German film history. One of the 100 best European films in photography. Wenders's large-angle and wide-range photography, mixed with emptiness and loneliness, has a road style, and finally has a small climax, and the narrative is not...

Under the shell of the genre film, the emphasis is on creating an atmosphere, coupled with the expression of the German-American relationship, which is thrilling and far-reaching, which is...

Wenders, who is in his early 30s, is not a person with a grand perspective, a stupefied personality, or a strong reasoning, so don't look for any insinuation of US-European relations in this slightly weird killer story, or any bearing on the reality of German society in the 1970s. Yes - it's just a simple crime story, presented from Wenders' unique perspective. During this period, his images had the urge to embrace the city and life, and he took the trouble to show how the Führer paid a ticket...

It can basically be regarded as a sequel to the genius Ripley, but it can also stand on its own. Wenders played bleeding and blasting in this film, although it was still a sultry. The subject of film noir is still the same set of landscape shots, his identity in a foreign country and his sense of wandering on the road. There is only Wenders who continue the perilousness of the devilish original into this long-lasting...

The first 40 minutes are messy and loose, and the main storyline starts when Bruno Ganz goes to Paris. It’s really strange to have Wenders shoot such a subject, but the narrative in the second half is very clear and Wenders-style. The mental state of the characters is rarely seen in this kind of film, the photography is as always, Gantz and Dennis Hopper team up is also to...

Wenders takes Lost with a murder story. The photography is excellent, the dusk and dawn sky in Hamburg am Rhein is so beautiful. The rich and full details are laid out while depicting the psychology of the characters, while also immersing people in negative and introspective emotions. The mix and match of cool and warm tones creates a magical atmosphere, wandering helpless and hopeless, mourning and...

A weird and strange base film, the laughter is too cold, and the air-conditioning in the archive is too full! !...

After a lapse of six years, I watched "American Friends" again on the big screen. The first 20 minutes of the whole film are like Sudoku and dizzying, and then it gets better like a square dance. In stark contrast to Godard's gags and banter shootouts, Wenderstein, in the ubiquitous self-marking, makes a killer film somewhere between Don Siegel and May Vermeer. Nicholas Ray's ambiguity and mystery always felt like a master, and the death of Samuel Fuller at the end of the credits also made me...
