A traveling projector repair-man meets up with another man in a depressed state. Necessity causes them to travel together along the back roads of West Germany. Both are haunted by events in their past.
Males are typically not chatty and these two are classic silent types. Both are happy with their own silence, thoughts are exchanged concisely and at times grudgingly. For a three hour film there is very little dialogue.
Wim Wenders sticks to his black-and-white look as he had done previously and as with a lot of his films, the story is a journey of the physical and spiritual kind. It is an examination of the male character as well as a commentary on modern German culture and the decline of cinema.
A film with very little plot but a wonderful masterpiece. Warning, warning... If you only like fast films with tidy endings, stay away.
