The American Friend (Wenders, 1977): Prince Charles Cinema, 8.30pm
This film also screens on Tuesday February 17th. 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.
