The American Friend (Wenders, 1977): Prince Charles Cinema, 5.45pm
This 35mm presentation is part of the Wim Wenders season at the Prince Charles Cinema this summer. You can find the full details here.
Chicago Reader review:
This gripping 1977 American thriller from Wim Wenders turns back on itself with deadly European irony. Dennis Hopper is an international art smuggler, Bruno Ganz is a Hamburg craftsman. Together they commit a murder and briefly become friends. The film has a fine grasp of tenuous emotional connections in the midst of a crumbling moral universe. Wenders's films (Kings of the Road, Alice in the Cities) are about life on the edge; this is one of his edgiest.
