Description

By Wim Wenders. Starring Rüdiger Vogler, Yella Rottländer, Lisa Kreuzer. Digitally restored copy. While waiting for the plane that will take him back to Europe, Philip Winter, a German reporter who spent a few weeks in the United States to immerse himself in the American landscapes, is entrusted with Alice, a 9-year-old girl, by a young mother in distress. Supposed to meet them in Amsterdam, she ultimately misses the appointment... "This film inaugurates a series of very personal works by Wenders on wandering that will culminate with Paris, Texas (1984). A geographical as well as an inner quest, this search for German identity through the traces of American culture (rock, cinema, Polaroid images) rests on the bonds of complicity and tenderness that develop between the child looking towards the future and the adult stuck in the past" (Joël Magny, World Film Dictionary).
