The Cinema of Wim Wenders, the first anthology of scholarly work on Wenders, is a unique anthropology of source materials and selected critical essays on the films of Wim Wenders, a major filmmaker in the so-called New German Cinema movement. His work, probably more than that of any other European director, reflects the tension between the European auteur tradition and the increasing dominance of the American media industry. In both his filmmaking and his critical writing, he explores how the relationship between image and narrative manifests the basic opposition between these two film traditions. This book serves as an introduction to the central concerns of his cinema while situation his work within German film history and the contemporary debates about postmodern film and media theory.

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.

The Cinema of Wim Wenders: The Celluloid Highway is a new study of the films of this most prominent of German directors, and penetrates the seductive sounds and images for which he is best known. The book analyses the individual films in the context of a preoccupation central to all of Wenders' work and writings: why modern cinema - a recording art, solely composed of sounds and images - naturally developed into a primarily narrative medium, a domain traditionally associated with words and sentences? With its emphasis on analysing the films themselves, this book identifies and critically elucidates Wenders' chief artistic motivation: that the act of seeing can constitute a creative act in its own right.

Wim Wenders: Making Films That Matter is the first book in 15 years to take a comprehensive look at Wim Wenders's extensive filmography. In addition to offering new insights into his cult masterpieces, the 10 essays in this volume highlight the thematic and aesthetic continuities between his early films and his latest productions. Wenders's films have much to contribute to current conversations on intermediality, whether it be through his adaptations of important literary works or his filmic reinventions of famous paintings by Edward Hopper or Andrew Wyeth. Wenders has also positioned himself as a decidedly transnational and translingual filmmaker taking on the challenge of representing peripheral spaces without falling into the trap of a neo-colonial gaze. Making Films That Matter argues that Wenders remains a true innovator in both his experiments in 3D filmmaking and his attempts to define a visual poetics of peace.

Globetrotting filmmaker Wim Wenders always takes his old panorama camera with him, using it whenever the sheer wealth of what he sees and the impression it leaves on him breaks the normal scale of things. Infinite landscapes, endless horizons, deserts, and mountain ranges overwhelm by their emptiness and silence, street fronts in Havana, Houston, Berlin, or Jerusalem offer deep insights into the shallows of civilization. Wenders' photographs are pictures of a world almost devoid of humans, a natural or man-made world viewed from a distance. They shed light on the many guises the surface of the earth dons and attest to Wenders' contemplative and amazed gaze. This gaze, of course, didn't stop at September 11 and delivered haunting photos of Ground Zero taken shortly after the attack. With poetic comments by the artist on all the pictures, the book is both a portrait of the world as encountered by the photographer and a portrait of the photographer as reflected in his vision of the world.

This analysis of the films of Wim Wenders from the early 1970's through the 1990's attempts to place his work in the cultural and political context of the time. Feminist analysis, cultural theory, and psychoanalysis combine to explore the major themes in the films with an emphasis on gender and narrative and on Wenders' concern with the representation of otherness. Wenders' earlier films reflect concerns with identity and with issues of masculinity and detachment. His later films reveal a preoccupation with seeing, images, and love, which culminated in the international success of The Buena Vista Social Club. As this study suggests, Wenders' later works manifest a shift in direction away from indifference and toward reconciliation, ethical practice, and relationships. This study will appeal to film scholars, to those with a special interest in German cinema and culture and to admirers of Wenders' films. Thematically arranged, chapters begin with the early films and trace the masculinity, identity, and lost narrative motifs throughout Wenders' oeuvre.

Professionally, Wenders left Europe for the United States only once. And it was a disaster. The shooting, or better the two shootings of “Hammett” between 1977 and 1982 as an “employed” director under Francis Ford Coppola’s control ended in a personal nightmare. It was a kind of filmmaking he never would accept. Accustomed to writing his own story which would usually change during the process of filming, and used to choosing his actors and his crew, Coppola’s Hollywood-style approach in the production of “Hammett” was a blow to Wenders’ professional ambitions in the United States. Asked if he wanted to work there again, he said that “it would be too much of a loss of autonomy. The way they despise and destroy their abundance of talent is appalling. The films are not made by artists, but by agents and lawyers.” A couple of years later, his tone appeared to be more moderate: "It was a comprehensive experience [and] one of the most important at the same time.” Nevertheless, ever since “Hammett”, all of Wenders’ movies have been produced and financed through Europe. “America” as a mythical place and the place of his dreams developed in his early youth. The fascination for this country, for its culture, especially for its cinema and its music, has been decisive throughout his life. After seeing “Easy Rider” in 1968, at the age of 23, he later explained that after leaving the cinema he “realized that [he] indeed looked like the people in the film, that [he] loved Jimi Hendrix, that [he’s] not served in many places, and that [he] too spent time in jail for literally nothing." This is not just a statement about a film, more than that, it seemed to be an identification with the protagonists of “Easy Rider”. But, on the other hand, doubts about “American colonization in the heads of Europe” obviously arose just as early. Wenders’ “Hammett”-experience followed the decade of the 1970s, which in the United States, according to the Time Magazine, “as far as foreign films are concerned, [belonged] to the Germans.” Wenders made more movies in or about the United States than any of the protagonists of the New German Cinema, and his early work already mirrors his affinity to (and influence of) U.S. American cinema and music....

A volume that combines three influential works on the cinema by Wim Wenders, one of the major international filmmakers of our time Wim Wenders's body of work is among the most extraordinary in modern cinema. It includes such films as Paris, Texas; Wings of Desire; Buena Vista Social Club; and The Million Dollar Hotel. Fortunately, his passion for cinema also extends to writing about it, and in this volume all his published essays on films and filmmaking--as well as his thoughts on such disparate subjects as rock 'n' roll, architecture, questions of German identity, and the influence of America--are brought back into print. Including the essays that previously appeared in Emotion Pictures, The Logic of Images, and The Act of Seeing, On Film discusses Wenders's development as a filmmaker from the time he picked up a camera at age twelve and offers a broad analysis of his guiding passions as he analyzes the full range of his work, film by film, and reveals his views on genres ranging from the American Western to the European avant-garde, along the way answering the deceptively simple question "Why do you make films?"
