ISBN-13: 978-0-571-20076-4, ISBN: 0-571-20076-1

"When Michelangelo Antonioni--best known as the director of 60s classic Blow Up--suffered a severe stroke in 1985, it was assumed that he would never direct another film. If nothing else, no financial institution would provide the insurance necessary for a production to go ahead. However, the auteur refused to give in, and with the help of his wife he brokered a deal whereby he would make one last film, with another director present on s ..."

Of the thousands of mining towns that sprang up, most have disappeared from the map, but a scant few remain as spooky reminders of dreams that failed.

ISBN-13: 978-0-500-28220-5, ISBN: 0-500-28220-X

"As some will know Wim Wenders' Buena Vista Social Club is one of the sleeper movie phenomenons of the 1990s. A record of one astounding revival, it has in turn perpetuated that revival, providing a whole new lease of life--and a lucrative international platform--for a music that was lost to many people. Wenders gives credit where it's due--to world music guru Ry Cooder who travelled to Cuba in 1996 to seek out the soneros, performers hu ..."

City of Angels
[VHS]

Closed-Captioned, Color, Dolby, Special Edition, Ntsc
ISBN-13: 978-0-7907-3990-8, ISBN: 0-7907-3990-9

"Some critics complained that City of Angels could never compare to Wim Wenders's exquisite German film Wings of Desire, which served as the later film's primary inspiration. The better argument to make is that any such comparisons are beside the point, because Wings of Desire was a much more deeply poetic, artfully contemplative film, whereas City of Angels is an enchanting product of mainstream Hollywood. Meg Ryan stars as Dr. Maggie R ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-7907-3734-8, ISBN: 0-7907-3734-5

"Très librement inspiré du formidable film de Wim Wenders, Les Ailes du désir, La Cité des anges souffre évidemment de la comparaison avec l'original. En fait, il convient sans doute de faire abstraction du film de Wenders pour ne voir ici qu'un aimable produit hollywoodien de bonne facture, destiné à un large public. Meg Ryan et Nicolas Cage sont assez convaincants en amoureux ayant des difficultés à se mettre au diapason - pas fac ..."

200 Pages, Published 2018 by Faber & Faber
ISBN-13: 978-0-571-33647-0, ISBN: 0-571-33647-7

"And then we realize what it is that we think is so 'impossible' about it: it's the fact that the photographer was present, that he was part of it, at this very place, that he captured the neighbour right at the moment of recognition, as if she were all alone at the scene, as if there couldn't possibly be another person with a camera who's not only watching, but creating evidence of the moment as well. We are totally at a loss to ex ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-85773-414-3, ISBN: 0-85773-414-8

"American psychologist James Hillman writes that trepidation is the first piece of compassion.9 We see this most beautifully in Tokyo Story in the exchange between Tomi (elderly parent) and Noriko (Tomi's widowed daughterinlaw). Tomi is homeless in Tokyo, after family members through their selfabsorption make their elderly parents unwelcome. Noriko invites her to stay; she is the only kin to show genuine hospitality. Scene 111. In t ..."
