    Adventures in paranoia.

    Interesting Wenders film that really defied my expectations. A great character piece and drama.

    Andie MacDowell in de jaren negentig was al niet mijn kopje thee en deze film maakt dat weer akelig duidelijk. Verder matige acteurs, vaag verhaal, slechte soundtrack en onwaarschijnlijke handelingen en gebeurtenissen. Heel af en toe deed de sfeer me denken aan Lost Highway, maar...( read more) op het shot van de snelweg na deden de beelden me weinig. De kers op de taart was het een gebrek aan een einde. Wim Wenders had beter in Duitsland kunnen blijven.

    wowwww !!!!! what a sophisticated crap by Wim Wenders who is expert about Hollywood Cinema Making after getting PhD degree on German Cinema. Andie Mc Dowell is fantastic and ultra super. I could not make out her real duty in this film. What is her difference from a tea pot ?

    I donīt know why, but although I find it boring, I really like a few things about it.

    A strange film. That's all I can say.
