Book Description

August 1997
In our over stimulated, consumer society how can imagery still have meaning either for the viewer or for filmmakers struggling to communicate their vision to the world? In this volume of essays on the subject, third in a series, Wim Wenders takes readers beyond the concerns of his own films into a broader world from whence they come, one of architecture, cities, video technology, and fashion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for Wenders fans, December 22, 1999

Sarah V. (Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Act of Seeing: Essays and Conversations (Hardcover)
'The Act of Seeing' is absolutely essential for any Wenders fan. His philosophies about film, art, life, and more are all explored in this, his third book of essays. One of my favorite film books.
