One of the key European films of the 1970s, a high-water mark of the New German Cinema and, to my mind, the purest piece of cinema that Wim Wenders has ever produced. It is a gloriously lyrical, ramshackle reflection on life, cinema (and cinemas), male identity, women, postwar alienation, children, and rock and roll, all wrapped up in a road movie that, if we are to believe Wenders, cast and crew made up as they went along, once the initial premise had been established.
