4.0 out of 5 stars
Clarity and Insight, November 1, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Films of Wim Wenders: Cinema as Vision and Desire (Cambridge Film Classics) (Paperback)
I am thoroughly enjoying this book for it's insightful look at a fascinating filmmaker. It not only gives a history of the artist, it goes through his major works to date giving clear-thinking and well-researched ideas for the reader to consider. I am particularly interested in the sections on Wings of Desire because it provides a viewpoint I haven't found in any other sources on this subject -- referring to the many Biblical and Biblical contrasts in the film. Overall, I would highly recommend the book to anyone who desires a more in depth analysis of his works and not simply a film review.

a treasure on Wenders, May 1, 2005
This review is from: The Films of Wim Wenders: Cinema as Vision and Desire (Cambridge Film Classics) (Paperback)
This is the only resource I've found that goes into great in-depth detail of the ideas and inspirations of Wenders. This includes films by other directors (John Ford for example,) their stories, their characters and how they inspired Wenders' stories.
