Adding more characters than Alice in the Cities<\/a><\/em> and a backstory for R\u00fcdiger Vogler’s travels (clearly frustrated at home, his mom gives him money to roam and become the writer he dreams of being). I wasn’t so sure about the move to color film, but I should’ve known to trust Wenders\/M\u00fcller. Based vaguely on a Goethe story, very freely adapted by Peter Handke, the commentary says they wanted to show a man who sets out to find himself, but doesn’t.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The crew: Vogler, actress Hanna Schygulla (a couple years after Petra von Kant<\/a><\/em>), scammy ex-nazi\/athlete Hans Blech (also of Wenders’ Scarlet Letter<\/em> which sounds bad), mute teen acrobat Nastassja Kinski (in her debut), and poet Peter Kern (in a couple Fassbinders the same year). The movie is definitely being weird on purpose, and the group is carefree until they meet a suicidal industrialist who ruins the vibe, then they begin to turn on each other.<\/p>\n

now playing: Emmanuelle and The Conversation<\/a> and Watch Out, We’re Mad!<\/em>
\n<\/p>\n

Wenders belatedly realized they were shooting in the same hotel as Machorka-Muff<\/a><\/em> so he paid tribute by having our heroes watch a Straub\/Huillet movie on TV. This won all the German film awards that year, sharing some with Alexander Kluge & Edgar Reitz. I wrote “Alice in the Cities<\/em> as mission statement, philosophy of photography and travel,” but I’m not sure I knew what I meant by that – anyway, looking forward to the third road movie and exploring some of the box set extras.<\/p>\n
