As a crash course in New German Cinema, this is tough to beat.
Yella Rottlander is unforgettable as Alice. [06 Jan 2008, p.16]
With this film, Wenders crystallized his style of existential sentimentality. His cool eye for urbanism and design blends a love of kitsch with a hatred for commercialism, historicism with a fear of history’s ghosts.
It is an intriguing movie that lives in the mind for hours after the lights have come up.
There is a timelessness to its explorations that makes it as rich and resonant today as when it was first released.
What makes Alice in the Cities so noteworthy is the tender, lifelike rapport cultivated between Vogler and Rottländer.
