The authors trace the development of one of the most well-known
directors of the New German Cinema that flourished in the 1970s and
early 1980s. Examining Wim Wenders' career from his early film
school productions through his mature works of the 1970s, this book
also analyses the most recent works, as well as the themes and
preoccupations that unite his oeuvre. As the authors note, Wenders'
works have been profoundly influenced by American films, especially
the 'road movie' genre. His own work often features characters who
are always on the move, in an attempt to capture a glimpse of their
identity and place in the world. They also represent a generation
of postwar Germans seeking to redeem themselves and the history of
their country by turning to American popular culture, particularly
its music and movies.
