Peter Handke

In the sixties, Peter Handke was one of the first to show how the business works: the writer as angry young man and pop star of the literary scene. As soon as he was on the bestseller lists, he turned his back on the hype. For many years, he has lived and worked in his house in a Parisian suburb, more quietly and more hospitably. Peter Handke's precise, free gaze becomes perceptible in his texts, his conversations, the cosmos of his notebooks.

Дивный летний день. Садовая терраса с видом на Париж. Под сенью деревьев двое ведут откровенную беседу, делясь воспоминаниями. Но у этого доверительного разговора есть свидетель. Это писатель, который со стороны наблюдает за парой. Он пишет книгу, то ли подслушивая героев, то ли их воображая…

Bernd Liepold-Mosser returns home to a place bordering the bilingual region of Lower Carinthia to talk to the people there about their “great son” Peter Handke. His search unearths the many unresolved contradictions and ambivalences of a small place where there is repression of the Slovenian-speaking past.

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.

Reencounter with a myth. 40 years since Georg Stefan Troller reported from his adopted home in "Pariser Journal," he returns to his old haunts. A journey through time in a city of contradictions that is always reinventing itself.

Документальный фильм созданный Уимом Уэндерсом в 1987 году. Немецкий фильм «Крылья желания».

Ангелы живут не на небесах. Они невидимо присутствуют рядом с людьми, прислушиваясь к их мыслям и направляя их поступки, подбадривая и утешая в минуты отчаяния. Но для них не существует мира человеческих чувств: вкуса черного кофе, боли порезанного пальца или любви. Поэтому некоторых из них так тянет к людям, и порой ангел теряет свои крылья и превращается в простого смертного. Что и происходит с героем фильма, которого увлекла на Землю любовь к женщине.

Four nameless people -- the old man, the woman, the soldier, and the gambler -- journey to a desolate wasteland beyond the limits of an unnamed city.

Невидимые людям ангелы фланируют по разделенному стеной Берлину, заглядывая в дома, мысли и души его обитателей. Один из них готов променять вечность в раю на любовь акробатки из цирка. Но по силам ли небесному созданию выдержать земные чувства?

In the space of a short 65 minutes, a woman enters the luxury apartment of a wealthy man with an eccentric fascination for the female form and is paid both for her sexual favors and for lying there naked and letting him examine the aesthetics of her body. For most of the hour, as the concise narration of Marguerite Duras' novel on eroticism and aesthetics fills the aural gaps, actress Marie Colbin's form fills the visual gaps. But unless viewers consider the feminine eyeball or microscopic views of skin exotic and worth lingering over, the eroticism lies more in the imagination than on the screen. In fact, the female body lying on the bed, taken away from the spirit that animates it, is really just a corpse -- raising the question, exactly what is the "malady of death?"

Начинающий писатель отправляется в путь, продолжая тем самым традицию великих романтиков и модных битников. Но после войны страна изменилась: она не похожа ни на прежнюю Германию, ни на современную Америку. Молодые ведут беседы о поэзии, пока старики тихо лезут в петлю. А странствующие акробаты уже не служат символом неприкаянности искусства. Теперь это парочка из нимфетки и недобитого наци. Все хотят вернуться к нормальной жизни, но в итоге сеют одиночество.

Сначала кажется, что в этой черно-белой ленте ничего не произойдет, разве что немецкий журналист Филипп Винтер наснимает еще пару сотен «полароидных» снимков. Он путешествует по восточному побережью США под ритмы Чака Берри в поисках материала, но работа не клеится. Первое значимое событие происходит по пути домой. Филипп знакомится в аэропорту с немкой Лизой и ее дочерью Алисой. Рейс задерживается, в процессе ожидания мать внезапно сбегает, оставив записку про какую-то бабушку, которую надо разыскать в Европе. И Филиппу ничего не остается, как совершить второе путешествие — по родному континенту, с чужим ребенком, в поисках неизвестно кого, под музыку Can и Густава Малера.

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

Another short was 3 American LPs, which was the first film I did with Peter Handke. It was a film about American music, about three pieces of three LPs. There was a song by Van Morrison, another by Harvey Mandel, and one of Credence Clearwater Revival. It was mainly the music and some shots out of a car, landscapes out of the car window. And it had a little bit of commentary – dialogue between Peter and me about American music and about how American rock music was about emotion and images instead of sounds. That is to say, about a kind of phenomenon, that it was in a way a kind of film music, but without a moving picture. It was a 12-minute film and it was never shown. – Wim Wenders
