Our take
From Godard to Antonioni, Herzog to Spielberg, Wim Wenders gathers the great and good of world cinema to ponder an existential question. Enlightening and hilarious, Room 666 considers the aesthetics of television, and asks whether its polluting effects will sound a death knell for the seventh art.
