Wim Wenders at Venice Film Fest

Posted by Michelle Strozykowski Jul 10, 2008

Following on from my recent look at the history of German Expressionist films, I thought I'd take a look at the work of a modern German auteur. Wim Wenders is a hugely successful European director, whose films have the power to entertain and entrance.

Unfortunately, his latest film Palermo Shooting has taken a complete drubbing at the hands of the critics, but that should not denigrate the past contributions this great director has made to the landscape of European cinema. See my article Profile of Wim Wenders the German Film Director for a breakdown of his best films.

Wenders has also been announced as the head of the jury at this years Venice film festival from Aug 27th - Sept 6th - about which I hope to bring you more news nearer the time.
