Recently renewing my Mubi subscription, I’m trying to watch more films rather than clicking between YouTube videos. Wim Wenders’ The American Friend was the first film of this new era of attention expansion. It’s a great film and I couldn’t help but grab my phone to capture the incredible art direction. The colours, the use of the picture frames, the sky, the beach and the orange VW Beetle, Dennis Hopper, Bruno Gantz, and Lisa Kreuzer, the Hamburg Docks. Perfection.
Yes. a great film, watched it a few days ago. Mubi is really a great way to see so many good films.And great to see Hamburg which I visited a couple of times a couple of years after the film was made, by ship from Harwich.
Hello John. Never seen The American Friend. Just watched the trailer. WOW ! Thank you, for bringing it to my attention.
It’s a great film Alistair- well worth watching
