An American sociopath teaches a thoughtful European how to rock in the underworld is a premise that could've very easily been turned into an exciting paperback thriller but is instead rendered here by Wenders in a sense of style that emphasizes a much slower, sicker existential feeling of corruption. Brutal ending, and Ganz and Hopper are incredible.
It’s so important to have that one friend who you can really be your worst self with.
A terminally ill picture framer is lured by an American art forger into a complex, morally ambiguous plot involving contract killing.
Wim Wenders directed this 1977 crime drama, which remains a key work of the New German Cinema movement.
The film was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 1977 Cannes Film Festival.
