The Cinema of Wim Wenders

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

The Cinema of Wim Wenders is a new study of the films of this most prominent of German directors whose films include Kings of the Road; Paris, Texas; and Wings of Desire. The book analyzes a preoccupation central to all of Wenders' work and writings: why modern cinema, a recording art solely composed of sounds and images, has so naturally developed into a primarily narrative medium, a domain traditionally

associated with words and sentences. This book identifies and critically elucidates Wenders' chief artistic motivation: that the act of seeing can constitute a creative act in its own right.
