Adventures in Moviegoing

Wim Wenders

Whether traveling the open roads of his native Germany, the American West, or—as in his acclaimed latest, PERFECT DAYS—the streets of Tokyo, Wim Wenders maps both the inner worlds of wanderers and dreamers and the outer spaces they inhabit. In this edition of Adventures in Moviegoing, Wenders sits down with fellow filmmaker Michael Almereyda to discuss his own meandering path toward directing, one that began in earnest with his cinematic self-education while studying art in Paris. The films he has chosen to present include favorites by Yasujiro Ozu, Agnès Varda, and Laurie Anderson, artists who speak through a cinematic grammar all their own.
