Wim Wenders is the creator of such masterpieces as Paris, Texas and Wings of Desire. In this third volume of essays, now available in paperback, Wire Wenders takes the reader beyond the concerns of his own films and into that of architecture, cities, video technology, and fashion. In our overheated consumer society we are constantly bombarded with visual stimuli; how can images still have a meaning either for the viewer, or for filmmakers struggling to communicate their vision to the world?
Besides extended essays, there are also interviews and conversations, such as one in which Wenders and Jean-Luc Godard playfully ruminate over the state of cinema today.
