Wim Wenders
The restless and the curious are Wim Wenders’ congregation, and they gather to play out some of best stories we have, told on the road or in the city, but always from the heart.
The German director works in both fact and fiction, bringing a photographer’s eye and a painter’s style to tales of imperfect lives.
