Description
By Wim Wenders. With William Hurt, Solveig Dommartin, Sam Neill. Screening with intermission. Digitally restored copy. While a nuclear satellite threatens to destroy the earth, a woman travels the world in search of a man she loves... Filmed over two years on four continents with a particularly large budget for an auteur film, this epic story, shown in its director’s cut version lasting over 4h30, may be the most ambitious project of Wenders' career. At the crossroads of different genres – road movie, science fiction, dark comedy, drama – Until the End of the World takes to its peak the themes dear to the filmmaker of wandering and travel. It also results in a philosophical reflection on the power of images, magnified by a resolutely rock soundtrack, from Nick Cave to the Talking Heads, including Patti Smith. Germany, France, Australia · 1991 · 290' · original version with French subtitles - format: DC@CAP 1 – Capitole, Freddy Buache Room (CAP 1) - indicative price: 10.-
