The early films of Wim Wenders are now regarded as landmarks of European film. Alice in the Cities, Wrong Move and Kings of the Road became foundations of the German New Wave and cemented the reputation of their director. In One Who Set Forth: Wim Wenders' Early Years Marcel Wehn explores the background to these films. Through personal recollection and rare home movie footage, it documents the director's early life, from experiments with his first camera, via his deviation from a career in medicine in favour of art and film, through to international recognition for the Road Trilogy. Central to these were themes that became cornerstones of all his work: national identity, the importance of personal relationships and the allure of the road. With contributions from the director and the many collaborators who helped define his vision, One Who Set Forth is a compelling account of Wim Wenders' life and work.

Göldi was arrested and under torture, admitted to entering in a pact with the Devil, who had appeared to her as a black dog. She withdrew her confession after the torture ended, but was sentenced on June 18, 1782 to execution by decapitation.

The norms of hospital practices are turned upside-down in this complex drama about how many rights are denied patients who do not conform. At the beginning of the story, a man is found lying on the side of the road and is brought in to the police station as a probable vagrant, but he has no memory and seems to have lost his powers of speech. Perplexed and defeated by their unsuccessful attempts to make him talk, the police send the man over to the hospital for examination by psychiatrists. After some time, it becomes apparent that he understands everything going on around him and is simply refusing to talk. This sets off a series of antagonistic actions on the part of the hospital staff, suspicious about his "purpose" in remaining silent. Although some explanation is discovered as to why he is this way, the supposedly sane doctors and staff come off looking like they may need treatment themselves.

He in turn is ridiculed by his fellow cabinet ministers for stepping out with a white woman. The vilification escalates to such a point that Patrice is brutally murdered, and Laurence barely escapes the country alive, with the help of her ex-husband Avit.

Bruno Winter
Paradigma del viaje como liberación y encuentro entre los seres humanos, la hermosa relación que se establece entre dos hombres (un reparador de proyectores de cine y un hombre deprimido tras el colapso de su matrimonio), a lo largo de un nostálgico viaje por la frontera que separa las dos alemanias, se convierte, en manos del singular director 889856, no sólo en el film que vuelve a implantar el cine alemán en el panorama internacional (junto a la obra de Fassbinder), sino en la mejor road movie alemana de todos los tiempos. Una obra clave del cine europeo moderno.

Spade
About two young men who come to the city in need of new experiences and some action. But life in the city is such that there was nothing left to experience. So the men imagined how one could live.

The story of a life that we all know, but which never lived up to our expectations: a chronicle of current events.
