From Alice to Buena Vista: The Films of Wim Wenders

Up to date, philosophically profound and provocative, and championing Wenders work where recent critics have turned off and tuned out,this is simply the best work we have on Wenders. Do not be put off by the austere, academic hardcover appearance: this is a stylish, and engaged encounter with Wenders work which, though the writer claims he is no film expert per se, has an intimate understanding of the spatial dimension of the medium as well as the thematic and ideological turn in Wenders work. With the renewed interested in Wenders since Buena Vista, this very informative book deserves a wide public. Let's hope the publishers issue this in paperback.
