- Beautiful Movie
I saw this movie first and only realized later that Wim Wenders also directed Wings of Desire, a film which I also enjoyed very much.

This is beautiful, quiet sort of a movie with a minimalist quality to it as it seems to have been filmed in Lisbon in the summer where it is so hot that nobody seems to be around. In that light, there is an oddly beautiful and romantic quality to vibes of lonliness presented in the film.

Without giving away too much, the film is about a man in Germany who is a sound maker, so to speak, for movies. He receives a post card (from Lisbon), in a pile of mail (that has been piling up for who knows how long). He discovers that his movie director buddy has desperately asked for his assistance in a project.

- Visually important sounds
The plot - Philip Winter(Rudiger Vogler), a sound engineer arrives in Lisbon to record for Friedrich Munro(Patrick Bachau) who is making a b/w film. Only he arrives to find Friedrich missing. Philip runs through some of the unfinished footage and starts to absorb the film, the smells and the LIFE of Lisbon. And in search of the missing Friedrich.

The rich colours of this work by Wim Wenders fill your senses. As Philip goes about recording the sounds, we are blasted with more than our senses can handle. A wonderful achievement in itself. The truck driver, the barber, the shoe-maker etc...help us along with this great journey.

Along this journey, we find that Friedrich is alive and filming with a hand-held. The strains and beautiful voice of Madredeus complete us in ... Read More

- Sequel to THE STATE OF THINGS
Just for the record, for you Wenders fans out there, since other people are ignoring the fact, I feel I should tell you that this film is, both in the sense of plot and the sense of theme, Wenders' follow up to the rather cynical, but great, film he made as a commentary on his early experiences trying to make movies in America -- THE STATE OF THINGS. If you recall, in the earlier film, Patrick Bauchau -- I hope I'm spelling that right -- is forced to abandon the set of the SF movie he is making in Lisbon to travel to Hollywood to figure out why the film's backers suddenly have disappeared with the money to complete the project. Bauchau's character is clearly a Wenders alter-ego, and the film a commentary on the brutal indifference of Hollywood to anything other than money. In THIS film, Rudiger ... Read More

- a film i still haven't forgot despite my efforts...
i'm sorry to write this, but this was one of the worse movies i have ever seen... i remember seeing this in the theater in lisbon and actually falling asleep during it. i am giving it two stars though: one for the madredeus, which are in fact worth listening to (but for this you should rather buy their cds). the other one is for that scene where manoel de oliveira (mdo) does a fantastic charlot. for those not familiar with mdo, he is the only filme director alive to have directed silent movies back in the 20s and 30s... he still directs fairly good movies...

as for the rest of the movie, it isnt even original. i think wenders has another movie on a similar character randomly filming berlin (if i am not mistaken)...
