Coming in January from the Film Society of Minneapolis St. Paul - Wim Wenders: Portraits Along the Road

Wim Wenders: Portraits Along the Road

Wim Wenders is cinema’s preeminent poet of the open road, soulfully following the journeys of people as they search for themselves. During his over-forty-year career, Wenders has directed films in his native Germany and around the globe, making dramas both intense and whimsical, mysteries, fantasies, and documentaries. With this abbreviated retrospective of seven of his films—from early works of the New German Cinema (Alice in the Cities, Kings of the Road) to one of the art-house 1980s blockbuster that made him a household name (Paris, Texas) to the inquisitive nonfiction look at world culture (Buena Vista Social Club) — audiences can rediscover Wenders’s vast cinematic world.

Also, see Wim Wenders’ newest narrative feature Every Thing Will Be Fine, starring James Franco and Charlotte Gainsbourg, screening January 8-14.
