    Until The End of the World is an odyssey for the modern age. As with Homer's Odyssey, the purpose of the journey is to restore sight -- a spiritual reconciliation between an obsessed father and a deserted son. Dr. Farber, in trying to find a cure for his wife's blindness, has created a device that allows the user to send images directly to the brain, enabling the blind to see.


    The creation and operation of such a machine is in stark contrast to a deteriorating global situation, where the continued existence
    of mankind is under threat from a nuclear powered satellite that is falling toward earth.







    Until The End of the World is a tale
    of love and hope -- a metaphor for
    the journey we must
    all take toward our future…
    the ultimate road movie.

    I would have to see it again, but this film has been one of the most inspiring, exhilarating experiences I have had with movies.

    Slow but thoroughly enjoyable futuristic drama that deals with addiction in a very unique way.
    Has elements that reminded me of the sci-fi, Christopher Walken film Brainscan.
    It also has one of the best soundtracks ever made featuring music from U2, Depeche Mode, Nick Cave and Julee Cruise.
    Now if I could just get my hands on the director's 280-minute cut...

    Fantasitcal, yet meaningful. A must see for any thoughtful movie-watcher. Ruminates on dreams, journeys, and of course, the end of the world. Fabulous soundtrack.

    You have to see the 5-hour director's cut of this. It's so much more interesting. One of the most perfect journey films ever made because the journeys are in so many layers, almost like a Borges story.

    One of the most underrated epics. The 5 hour cut is mind-blowing. A truly unique experience of sight and sound. It's actually a trilogy!

    The most ambitious Wim Wenders film. An odyssey shot on four continents, and a litany of international cities, the story follows a scientist played by William Hurt who is followed by a beautiful mystery woman, played by Solveig Dommartin, (who was also in Wings of Desire). They travel the globe as they race against time and try to out run bounty hunters, government agents and the bomb. A gorgeous cinematic masterpiece with an incredible sound track that includes U2, Talking Heads, Lou Reed, T-Bone Burnett, Peter Gabriel, Can, Elvis Costello, Patti Smith, R.E.M., Depeche Mode, andNick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

    Very strange but not over the top. Makes good usage of the world. It wasn't over te top in terms of science fiction gadgets which is good.

    I saw this years ago on TMN, and from what I remember of it, it was a complicated movie. I really need to track down a copy of it and see it again.

    I liked this film. It is weird but interesting. The soundtrack rocks and I wouldn't mind hunting it down to listen to while painting. Hard to explain the storyline...it is just bizarre.

    Not as deep or provoking as the title or director's chair would suggest, but still an earnest attempt at pushing the political envelope.
