Wim Wenders Road Movies (Directors Suite)

A trilogy of road movies created by German iconoclast Wim Wenders in the mid-1970s, these three films,each starring Rüdiger Vogler, form a commentary on the adoption of American culture within a rapidly modernising West Germany.

Alice in the Cities / Alice in den Städten
A journalist a with writer's block befriends a young girl, and together they attempt to locate her grandmother's home through the urban centres of Germany, with only scrap of a photograph as a guide.

Wrong Move / Falsche Bewegung
Based on Goethe's Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, for six days we follow Wilhelm: a detached man who leaves his hometown and overbearing mother in the hope of finding himself.

Kings of the Road / Im Lauf der Zeit
Bruno, a film projector mechanic, meets Robert, who has just survived a half-hearted suicide attempt. Together they travel along the border between East and West Germany, visiting cinemas and learning as much about themselves as each other.
